Out of curiosity I also tried to scan on groovy. To make it work I had to take two additional steps:
* Added brscan2 to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf (without that my scanner wasn't even found by scanimage -L) * Added the same symlink as proved to be needed on bionic; see comment #7 So the situation for 3:d party scanners is anything but ideal. Nevertheless, the conclusion is still that the change in question improves the situation a bit. (And in focal it proved to be it.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to sane-backends in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835220 Title: Please support /usr/lib64/sane Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in sane-backends source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in sane-backends source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in sane-backends source package in Groovy: Fix Released Status in sane-backends package in Baltix: Confirmed Status in sane-backends package in Debian: New Bug description: [Impact] The patch 0125-multiarch_dll_search_path.patch makes /usr/lib/sane be recognized as a directory for SANE backends. However, some .deb files with scanner drivers, typically provided by Brother, install files in /usr/lib64/sane. This issue has been discussed in bug #1728012, but was broken out from there to not block another more important change in bionic. sane-backends 1.0.31-1~experimental1 adds support for /usr/lib64/sane, and so do the debdiffs attached to this bug report for focal and bionic. [Test case] * Configure an affected scanner with drivers installed via e.g. brscan2 * Try to scan with simple-scan -> Find that the scanner is not found * Install libsane{,1}, libsane-common and sane-utils from {focal,bionic}-proposed * Try to scan again -> Scanner found and scanning works [Regression risk] This only adds a directory to the lib search path via an existing patch, so the regression risk should be minimal.
