Title:
  the change from libsane to libsane1 broke many (all?) 3rd party plug-
  ins for sane

Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in sane-backends source package in Artful:
  Fix Committed
Status in sane-backends package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Note to SRU Team
  
  The first proposed fix (1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2) failed because it 
needed to be a versioned Provides, not just a Provides.

  Impact
  ==

  1) The Debian maintainer renamed libsane to libsane1-experimental "to
  match with the soname". This apparently fixes a Lintian warning, but
  makes installing 3rd-party plug-ins hard, as they typically depend on
  "libsane", not on "libsane1". The first try to add a "Provides:
  libsane" to libsane1 (which created a virtual package) didn't make
  drivers installable that claim to depend on a minimum version of
  libsane as virtual packages are ignored in this case.

  2) The soname change might be justified by the new version breaking
  (several? most?) 3rd party plug-ins even if the library version number
  doesn't indicate any bigger change than any ordinary new version of
  the library - which might indicate that this phenomenon might be an
  upstream bug.

  libsane 1.0.25 in zesty includes libsane.so.1.25
  libsane1 1.0.27 in artful includes libsane.so.1.27

  It is to note that depending on the manufacturer for many old scanners
  there won't be new versions of the plug-ins that are recompiled like
  this.

  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. 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 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.

  Impossibility of workarounds
  
  Just installing an old version of libsane is impossible as it uninstalls 
libgtk (which depends on libsane1 which conflicts with libsane) making the 
system basically useless.

'I have written to Brother support'

Nothing will happen. As only Ubuntu 17.10 is affected, no other Ubuntu-
Release, no other Linux-Distribution (e.g. Arch-Linux uses libsane
1.0.27 and no extra pecularities are reported) .

Hopefully Ubuntu switches at least for 18.04 LTS back to use non-
experimental libraries and frameworks.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1728012] Re: Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change

As I've found now the origin of '/etc/udev/rules.d/79-udev-epson.rules'
- it was installed by the epson-printer-utility for my Epson XP 540 - I
tried what happens when I switch to a more 'common' udev rule.

I tried (similiar to the rule for brother scanners provided by Hans):

ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0664",
GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

Result: No firmware up-load, no scanner found. As soon as a I switch
back to the rule installed by epson the scanner starts (after switching
off-on) to up-load the firmware and is accessible by scanning programs
(as non-root).

@luca

can you please try the following udev rule (scanner is locally attached
via usb, please keep the current one stored at an other place, no
garantuee, so you may want to revert) :

/etc/udev/rules.d/79-udev-brother.rules
# chmod device BROTHER group
ATTRS{manufacturer}=="BROTHER", DRIVERS=="usb", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", 
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0777"

Are you aware of these informations ?

http://stepsilon.com/ubuntu/install-scanner-brother-dcp-7055-ubuntu

"The Brother Linux scanner driver works only with a superuser by
default, as noted on the brother solutions site.

If you want to allow normal users to also use the scanner, this is the
solution:

Download following deb package. Open a terminal and paste following line

   wget www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/brother-udev-rule-
type1-1.0.0-1.all.deb"

Can you please try ?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1728012] Re: Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change

I have no glue why Epson has chosen '0777', maybe it's because they
upload a firmware to their scanners ...

brscan4 no luck until now (btw. the installer already seems to respect
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane)


brscan, brscan2, brscan3

b) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother* 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane'
c) generate '/etc/udev/rules.d/59-udev-local.rules'
content:
# Brother brscan devices
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0664", GROUP="scanner", 
ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

2. Epson Iscan

a) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane'
b) generate '/etc/udev/rules.d/79-udev-epson.rules'

@ Hans Schwimmbeck

Great, so we have a fix for brother brscan3 scanners too.

Ah yes, linking is definitely a better way than copying (you may forgive
me, my workaround was only a first try).


Now we only need to know if, brscan, brscan2 and brscan4 scanners can be fixed 
too by linking directories

@Michael Barraclough

Is it a fresh install ?

If yes, I'm sorry I'm not familiar with Kubuntu

If no, please consider a fresh installation of Kubuntu 17.10 (too many
things have changed since 16.04)

  Note to SRU Team
  
  The first proposed fix (1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2) failed because it 
needed to be a versioned Provides, not just a Provides.

  Impact
  ==

  1) The Debian maintainer renamed libsane to libsane1-experimental "to

  makes installing 3rd-party plug-ins hard, as they typically depend on
  "libsane", not on "libsane1". The first try to add a "Provides:
  libsane" to libsane1 (which created a virtual package) didn't make
  drivers installable that claim to depend on a minimum version of
  libsane as virtual packages are ignored in this case.

  2) The soname change might be justified by the new version breaking
  (several? most?) 3rd party plug-ins even if the library version number
  doesn't indicate any bigger change than any ordinary new version of
  the library - which might indicate that this phenomenon might be an
  upstream bug.

  libsane 1.0.25 in zesty includes libsane.so.1.25
  libsane1 1.0.27 in artful includes libsane.so.1.27

  It is to note that depending on the manufacturer for many old scanners
  there won't be new versions of the plug-ins that are recompiled like
  this.

  Regression Potential
  
  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.

  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.

  Impossibility of workarounds
  
  Just installing an old version of libsane is impossible as it uninstalls 
libgtk (which depends on libsane1 which conflicts with libsane) making the 
system basically useless.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1707352] Re: the change from libsane to libsane1 broke many (all?) 3rd party plug-ins for sane

I verified that my Epson V300 works with a fresh Ubuntu 17.10
installation by doing the following steps

1. Install libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1

If you don't want to enable the proposed repository the easiest way is
to download the files and install them from local

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/artful/+upload/16734103/+files/libsane1_1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/artful/+upload/16734103/+files/sane-
utils_1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/artful/+upload/16734103/+files/libsane-
common_1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1_all.deb

2. Install iscan-gt-f720-bundle-1.0.1.x64.deb.tar.gz

3. Copy (or move) the files from /usr/lib/sane (libsane-epkowa.la,
libsane-epkowa.so.1, libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.15) to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/sane

4. generate a file /etc/udev/rules.d/79-udev-epson.rules with the following
content:
# chmod device EPSON group
ATTRS{manufacturer}=="EPSON", DRIVERS=="usb", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0777"

No reboot needed

After these steps you can attach your scanner and turn it on. It will
start to download the firmware (you can see some blinking lights and
hear some noise). As soon downloading of firmware has finished you can
use the scanner by either Simple-scan, iScan or Xsane (if installed). No
root needed (except for installation).

As other Epson scanners using Iscan differ 'only' by the scanner
specific plugin I expect them to work too.

A Test here showed:

without 79-udev-epson.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d

only 'sudo scanimage -L works'

with 79-udev-epson.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d

no root needed, a simple 'scanimage -L' is sufficient

maybe for the brscan scanners also only the udev rule is missing

try to add 
# Brother scanners
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0255", MODE="0660", 
GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

to e.g. /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane1.rules

  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.

  Impossibility of workarounds
  
  Just installing an old version of libsane is impossible as it uninstalls 
libgtk (which depends on libsane1 which conflicts with libsane) making the 
system basically useless.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1728012] Re: Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change

X-Org or wayland doens't matter. My scanner works with both (verfied).

Do you have a file named 79-udev-epson.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d ?

Mine has the following content:

# chmod device EPSON group
# ACTION=="add", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="EPSON", DRIVERS=="usb", 
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0666"

If you don't want to enable the proposed repository the easiest way is
to download the files and install them from local

Yes the bundle is scanner specific. Iscan is identical, only the
scanner-plugin differs.

  Note to SRU Team
  
  The first proposed fix (1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2) failed because it 
needed to be a versioned Provides, not just a Provides.

  Impact
  ==

  1) The Debian maintainer renamed libsane to libsane1-experimental "to
  match with the soname". This apparently fixes a Lintian warning, but
  makes installing 3rd-party plug-ins hard, as they typically depend on
  "libsane", not on "libsane1". The first try to add a "Provides:
  libsane" to libsane1 (which created a virtual package) didn't make
  drivers installable that claim to depend on a minimum version of
  libsane as virtual packages are ignored in this case.

  2) The soname change might be justified by the new version breaking
  (several? most?) 3rd party plug-ins even if the library version number
  doesn't indicate any bigger change than any ordinary new version of
  the library - which might indicate that this phenomenon might be an
  upstream bug.

  libsane 1.0.25 in zesty includes libsane.so.1.25
  libsane1 1.0.27 in artful includes libsane.so.1.27

  It is to note that depending on the manufacturer for many old scanners
  there won't be new versions of the plug-ins that are recompiled like
  this.

  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. 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 goodme chance of making things

Thats interesting. I don't need to be root to scan.

So whats different is the question ? I don't believe it's the different
plugin. Iscan is identical I suppose.

Just for completeness:

 apt list --installed |grep -e esci -e iscan -e libsane -e sane-utils

BRScan users can you try what happens when you copy the files (libsane-
brother*) from /usr/lib64/sane/ to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane.

Maybe the fix for brother scanners is as easy as the one for the epson
ones ...

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1728012] Re: Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change

Just for the record

scanimage -L
device `epkowa:interpreter:003:007' is a Epson Perfection V300 flatbed scanner
device `imagescan:esci:networkscan://192.168.50.24:1865' is a Epson XP-540 

Iscan, simple-scan, Xsane are working as expected.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1707352] Re: the change from libsane to libsane1 broke many (all?) 3rd party plug-ins for sane

Today I managed to bring back my dead Epson V300 alive :-)

1. Install libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1

2. Install iscan-gt-f720-bundle-1.0.1.x64.deb.tar.gz

3. 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

4. reboot.

Guess this works with all Iscan depend scanners from Epson

For me the bug is fixed ...

2017-10-29 Thread staedtler-przyborski

True Epson iscan .deb's can be installed now.

But nevertheless Epson scanners relying on iscan refuse to work (Epson
V300 in my case).

scanimage -L doesn't detect them, neither iscan, simple-scan or xsane.

This is less than half a fix.

BTW. in Ubuntu 17.04 the scanner worked with libsane 1.0.25 and with
libsane 1.0.27 (provided by Rolf Bensch

Many thanks to everybody who tries to fix this.

IMHO Things go wrong, but keep in mind 17.10 lives for 9 months, so no
real tragedy. Quite more important is that 18.04 LTS will work out-of-

  The breaking of all plug-ins might be an upstream bug - which is allowed in 
an experimental package, but is unfortunate as in Ubuntu this package went 
mainstream; The library rename is an additional factor that 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+.
  It is to note that depending on the manufacturer for many old scanners there 
won't be new versions of the plug-ins that are recompiled like this;  Adding a 
Provides: libsane to the library might therefore make some plug-ins work, 
perhaps.

The Epson XP-540 Scanner-part is identical to the Standalone Epson V39

and as non-functional iscan plugin which relys on libsane.

  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.

Epson XP-540 attached locally also works (tested with simple-scan)

scanimage -L
device `imagescan:esci:networkscan://192.168.50.24:1865' is a Epson XP-540

`imagescan:esci:usb:/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:14.0/usb3/3-8/3-8:1.0' is a

2017-10-21 Thread staedtler-przyborski

My Epson XP-540 works.

Curiously with simple-scan and with xsane, but not with Imagescan provided by 
Epson.
But thats another problem, image-scan scans but can't save the scanned image 
... With Ubuntu 17.04 (using Sane 1.0.25) behaviour of imagescan was identical. 
I already reported this months ago Epson at https://github.com/utsushi to be 
exactly. Maybe Olaf Meeuwissen (Sane developer) someday will fix it.

Seems time that I should try what happens when I attach the XP 540
locally, then it needs another plugin than networkscan. Hopefully I find
the time this weekend to test.

2017-10-20 Thread staedtler-przyborski

Just for the record. When installing iscan and esci-interpreter-gt-f720
using 'sudo dpkg -i --force-depends', they get installed. But my Epson
V300 is not recognized.

When I start 'scanimage -L' only my Epson XP-540 networkscanner is
found, not my local attached Epson V300

scanimage -L
device `imagescan:esci:networkscan://192.168.50.24:1865' is a Epson XP-540.

And yes 'libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2' is installed and in
use. Luckily it don't breaks my Epson XP-540.

You may want to know using Linux Libertine O 5.3 OTF or TTF doesn't
solve the distored printing. Also Libreoffice 3.6.0.2 (latest available
for Ubuntu 12.0) doesn't change anything for this bug (or abend, or
issue, as you like)

BTW. Abiword is not affected, documents from there using Linux Libertine
O print fine.

Title:
  Linux LibertineLibreoffice 3.5 distorted printing

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Linux Libertine 5.1.3 and Libreoffice 3.5.x (I've tested 3.5.3 and
  3.5.4) don't play well together. On screen everthing looks nice, but
  on printout the distances between the letters are completly distored.
  The printout is hard to read and looks ugly. I've seen this on all our
  machines (at the moment 7) where Ubuntu 12.04 is installed. Printer is
  always a Brother MFC 8640N

  Older Ubuntu releases e.g. 10.04 and 11.10 (with older Libreoffice,
  OpenOffice and Linux Libertine, ) print as they should, as did every
  Ubuntu release in the past.

  Solution is to use the Linux Libertine G variant from here
  http://www.numbertext.org/linux/index.html. Which is a 'graphite'
  version of Linux Libertine. Now printings of Linuxlibertine are fine
  again.

  It looks like Libreoffice 3.5.x uses the graphite engine with Linux 
Libertine, regardless if the font is fittet for graphite or not.

+ Could you please take a picture of the offending printout and attach
to this report?

Later this evening I provide a scanned printout. Sorry had to delete my
second example - too much private information ...
