su/sudo not found...

I have applied the fix to the Debian SVN repository and will soon upload the fixed package to Ubuntu.

Usually you should not hit this bug even with it being present, as HPLIP supports PolicyKit and it calls tools like kdesudo only if it does not succeed to use PolicyKit. Can you open a second bug report about HPLIP not using PolicyKit on your system? Thanks in advance.

Will check and report later...

Cheers Dyna

Status in “hplip” source package in Ubuntu: In Progress

Bug description:
Binary package hint: hplip-data

When using hp-toolbox in KDE doing something that requires admin privileges you will get a su/sudo not found "Unable to find an appropriate su/sudo to run hp-plug" this due to most likely a typo in ui_utils.py.

Following patch takes care of it
