Just to report further: I tried to install the ubuntu libjpeg8 libjpeg8_8c-2ubuntu8_amd64.deb, but then hit further problems: libjpeg8:amd64 depends on libjpeg-turbo8 I then added libjpeg-turbo8_2.0.6-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb but then: error processing archive libjpeg-turbo8_2.0.6-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing libjpeg-turbo8:amd64 It seems that debian has instead: libturbojpeg0 So Ubuntu and debian seem to be using different package names. I could probably sort all this out if I had the time to refresh my memory about packaging. But is does not seem to be straight forward to use the Ubuntu packages in Debian. Meanwhile, I will get my scanner out and retest: despite the broken packages, I think there is a chance that it might now work. ael
