DetailsDescription:
Package does report `python-pyqt5` as an optional dependency, however, the current setting is preventing "ordinary" user from running the software. User is not informed what to do. The workaround would be to require `python-pyqt5` or splitting the package onto two (i.e. hplip and hplip-gui) Additional info: * package version(s): 1:3.23.8-1 Steps to reproduce: On a clean system install hplip. [michal@chuwi Downloads]$ sudo hp-toolbox warning: hp-toolbox should not be run as root/superuser.

I mean, if we'd split the package into two, i.e. hplip-gui / hplip-toolbox depending on hplip and python-pyqt5, wouldn't it be nice(r) for the newcomers? :)
What I want to achieve: I know that Arch may be not the best "first-shot" Linux for many, but from my stance, an experienced DevOps, it's working on many devices (including mine) that other distros just don't support. I mean, for the growth of the community :). I know that Arch has steep(er) learning curve, but I believe we could have more newcomers and not close ourselves in our own silo :).
Just pondering, anyway, have a nice day Doug! Thanks!
