Debian Buster (10) error installing it

Asked by atux

I did a fresh install of Debian 10 x64 in my laptop and i have downloaded the hplip version 3.19.11. When executing the script it mention's that i am running version 10.1 but the script is for version 10 only. Then it continues and i am getting the following errors:
note: Defaults for each question are maked with a '*'. Press <enter> to accept the default.
error: debian-10.1 version is not supported, so all dependencies may not be installed. However trying to install using debian-10.0 version packages.

Press 'y' to continue auto installation. Press 'n' to quit auto instalation(y=yes, n=no*):

Why? What is lacking on your OS?

Hi Brian, this is the same problem that I have with Raspbian Buster 10.

I avoid the atux's problemdoing a custom installation and disabling Qt4 dependencies and enabling Qt5 but in the end I have an error in the "Running make" step.

Hi,

Debian 10.1 is yet not supported by HPLIP. Hence you are seeing this behavior. We will release Debian 10.1 by our next release.
