    Beta update breaks hplip (workaround)

    If you are using hplip for printing, the big beta update may break it.
    It doesn't actually break the program, but it fails to install all of the necessary symlinks in /usr/bin to make it work.
    Suggestion: before you do the update, make a list of the /usr/bin/hp-* symbolic links, so that you can manually restore them after the update. Once I did that, everything worked fine.

    I also notice the update removed amarok, due to an earlier version of amarok-common being in the repositories for some reason. I imagine this will get fixed eventually.
