Package: simple-scan
Version: 2.31.90.2-1
Severity: normal
I was having issues with simple-scan : on one box, it was working
perfectly (through a scanner on a server), and on another box, it wasn't
(through the same scanner on the same server) : everything seemed to
work, but the resulting pdf was unreadable.
Then I realized that on the machine where it worked, the menus were in
english, and on the other, in french.
In fact, it seems simple-scan is writing the data using localized
functions, so numbers end up with a comma where english people would put
a point : this makes the pdf unreadable.
For example, in french, we write "pi=3,14159" where english write
"pi=3.14159".
Workaround: launch simple-scan as "LANG=C simple-scan"
Solution: simple-scan should write the data to disk without using the
locale.
Hope this helps,
