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.
