+# external scripts, which are downloaded and run by hp-plugin, try to create links
+# in non-existing dirs. These scripts ignore errors, so plugin is installed fine
+# but then internal hp-plugin can check for plugin state, where links are checked too.
+# It results in corrupted plugin state, which breaks printer installation by GUI hp-setup.
+# Temporary workaround is to ignore these bad links and real fix should come from HP,
+# because their external scripts try to create links in non-existing dirs.
