Seems like the 1st try for my patch is lost including its description =>
I've tried to create a patch that automatically applies all workarounds on installing libsane1. The only thing I am not sure is the symlinks: - If we try to link the new directories to the old ones on a system update (when the old dir still exists) the link cannot be created. Hence the patch only creates them on a clean install. - and I have no idea if we can avoid creating the links on IA32 systems, too - where they don't do harm, but don't help, neither. Perhaps we should compile a list of all individual files Epson, Brother and perhaps others provide and create a separate symlink for every file. Any ideas? And any volunteers for this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728012 Title: Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1728012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
