In response to an “Updates Available” notice updating hplip-piugin from version 3.23.12-1 to version 3.23.12-2 aborts and supplies the following I error: Trouble shooting and resolution is way above my pay grade.
Hplip on stable branch is 3.23.12-1.
You did not pay attention with AUR, the plugin version needs to be the same as hplip. Look out if the matching version is still cached. Otherwise pull from HP
I’m a Manjaro newbie. Any guidance in further trouble shooting help.
Should I delete xfce-terminal and reinstall? How would I delete and reinstall the terminal?
I would not recognize any error or oddity in my .bashrc/.zshrc file. What would a proper version of the .bashrc/.zshrc look like?
No, that wouldnt do anything for you.
(By design the package manager will not touch files in your $HOME, which we think is the likely source of this problem.)
But we would. Share it here.
The 2 commands above would explicitly search for ‘title’ in whichever rc file you have.
(.zshrc for users of zsh, .bashrc for users of bash)
So my guess is that it is not an issue on the user side. Instead, the .run file is trying to start a terminal with the option -title. But common terminals such as xfce4-terminal and konsole do not support that option (xfce4-terminal would accept -T or --title apparently).
I’m coming back for more assistance. I have been unable to contact the maintainer for the package
lip-plugin 3.23.12-3. The packager is unknown. The maintainer is: carsme. Checking GitHub for the packager or Maintainer provides no assistance.
I’m clueless for resolving the issue. Cut and pate form the last comment.
‘’’
The file hplip-$pkgver-plugin.run contains the line
exec $XTERM -title "$label" -e "$0" --xwin "$initargs" ''''
Specifically, how do I fix? Is it enough to comment out or delete the "bad" command? Would I then need to repackage thew update? How would I do this? How would i get the update onto AUR? The "captcha" is a line of code and I have no clue what this code means. I am a user not software engineer!
I am really and truly stuck.
Please help.
Thanks

Packager is you. Patch the provided PKGBUILD yourself.
Something like:
prepare() {
sed -i 's/exec $XTERM -title/exec $XTERM --title/g' hplip-3.23.12-plugin.run
sh "hplip-$pkgver-plugin.run" --target "$srcdir/hplip-$pkgver-plugin" --noexec
}
It’s on you to understand how package building process, and with that AUR, works. You are using it. And it’s not a rocket science, you just have to read few archwiki pages.
Generally, dont’t abbreviate the output, we need the full picture from command to error message.
