[arch-announce] hplip 3.20.3-2 update requires manual intervention

[Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Andreas Radke]

The hplip package prior to version 3.20.3-2 was missing the compiled
python modules. This has been fixed in 3.20.3-2, so the upgrade will
need to overwrite the untracked pyc files that were created. If you get errors
such as these

    hplip: /usr/share/hplip/base/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-38.pyc exists in filesystem
    hplip: /usr/share/hplip/base/__pycache__/avahi.cpython-38.pyc exists in filesystem
    hplip: /usr/share/hplip/base/__pycache__/codes.cpython-38.pyc exists in filesystem
    ...many more...

when updating, use

    pacman -Suy --overwrite /usr/share/hplip/\*

to perform the upgrade.
