Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Update of system
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Haven't done anything--saw errors being reported during installation of hplip package.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Uncertain. Could easily be of no consequence, but then again IANAProgrammer. So far (one small test) the manager seems to be working fine.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
No error messages, of course. Examples are given below.
Kenward
These are just some of the error messages. All seemed similar (escape sequence issue).
