Dear Sane developers,
all Iscan dependend Epson scanners refused to work with Ubuntu 17.10
(and 18.04)
see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1707352.
I know it is not your fault. But maybe some users try to find a solution
on the sane-devel-mailing- list.
I discovered today a simple fix for this bug (after updating libsane to
:libsane1 1.0.27-
1~experimental2ubuntu2.1, curently in proposed).
Copy (or move) the files from /usr/lib/sane (libsane-epkowa.la, libsane-
epkowa.so.1, libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.15 in my case) to
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane
after a reboot the Iscan dependend scanners (verified with a Epson V300)
start to work.
Maybe Epson delivers updated packages some day so the manual correction
will be unnecessary
Hope this helps
Klaus Staedtler
