Description of problem: Error appears on fedora 31 minimal installation (I saw it on aarch64, probably other architectures and versions affected) when running `hplip-setup -i` after installing `hplip` via dnf. It writes some errors: ``` Uncompressing HPLIP 3.19.12 Plugin Self Extracting Archive.Extraction failed. error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed ``` But after installing all components it appeared that error is in absence of `tar`. So the bug is actuall dependence on tar (in most cases it is installed by default) while it is not installed with the `dnf install hplip`. My suggestion is to add `tar` as a dependency of `hplip`. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora minimal on machine 2. sudo dnf install hplip 3. hplip-setup -i 4. Choose usb, choose download 5. Here is an error about uncompressing the hplip-plugin Actual results: Uncompressing HPLIP 3.19.12 Plugin Self Extracting Archive.Extraction failed. error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed Expected results: Successfull installation of the printer Additional info: All error is about not having tar by dependency
Hi Thomas, thank you for reporting the issue! I was able to reproduce the issue by installing hplip, removing tar and running 'hp-plugin -i' on Fedora Server machine.
