Epson XP-352 printer driver need pidof

English Applications
1

I just installed from scratch Leap 15.3 and I get driver in rpm format for my printer Epson Expression Home XP-352.
When I tried to install driver using YaST Software I get an error message that prevent driver installation:

#### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2021-07-07 14:53:32 ####

nothing provides /usr/bin/pidof needed by lsb-4.0.fake-lp153.1.1.x86_64

     ] do not install epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.7.7-1lsb3.2.x86_64

     ] break lsb-4.0.fake-lp153.1.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies




#### YaST2 conflicts list END ###

Any idea on how to get “pidof” ?

That was a bug in the lsb rpm build, pidof is here:

which pidof
/sbin/pidof

If sysvinit-tools are installed, you can ignore it.

They’re installed. From Software management I get:

                         sysvinit-tools - Strumenti per l'avvio di base

Then I can choose this option?

   ] break lsb-4.0.fake-lp153.1.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

A new package is in the Update-Test Repo with following changes:

* Fr Jun 04 2021 Martin Wilck <mwilck@suse.com>
- Fix path of pidof for Leap 15.3 (bsc#1186855)

I think, it will be soon in the Update Repo.

Done. Driver works, thanks.

Downloaded and installed the most recent version of driver (epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.7.14-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm; 4.1 MiB; issued on 8 july 2021 !!) that doesn’t ask for pidof.
