** Description changed: Impact ====== The Debian maintainer renamed libsane to libsane1 "to match with the soname" apparently to fix a Lintian warning. libsane 1.0.25 in zesty includes libsane.so.1.25 libsane1 1.0.27 in artful includes libsane.so.1.27 This appears to be no bigger change than any ordinary new version of the library. The library rename makes it impossible to install any scanner drivers for libsane that are distributed as a .deb unless the driver distributors recompiles against Ubuntu 17.10+. Therefore, adding Provides: libsane seems reasonable here. Test Case ========= Visit http://support.epson.net/linux/en/iscan_c.html Download the amd64 deb .tar.gz Unzip it. Install the iscan .deb from the core folder. It won't install before this SRU because it Depends: libsane Regression Potential ==================== - The fix here was proposed to the Debian maintainer in July but there's been virtually zero response on it. + The fix here was proposed to the Debian maintainer in July but there's been virtually zero response on it. In the meantime the workaround that was proposed initially has started to result in automatically uninstalling gtk - which makes the system basically useless. It doesn't seem like adding the Provides will make things any worse for - third-party drivers but it has a good chance of making things better for - some. + third-party drivers but it has a goodme chance of making things better + for some. Original Bug Report =================== I don't know if that can be prevented in the long run. But both brscan (for my brother scanner) and iscan (for my epson scanners) have been broken by the change from libsane to libsane1. For iscan I have unpackaged the debian package, changed the dependency it contains from libsane to libsane1 and installed the changed package. But even then my epson scanners no more work leaving me without any scanner => Reporting a bug.
