Public bug reported:
Hi,
Usually XSANE used to look for the driver files in /usr/lib/sane for 32
bit version of the Ubuntu OS and /usr/lib64/sane for the 64 bit version
of the Ubuntu OS. This was the case at-least till Ubuntu 14.10. After
that there seems to be discrepancies in the locations XSANE is trying to
find the driver files. Details mentioned below:
OS locations searched by XSANE for the scanner driver files.
Ubuntu 14.10 (x86): /usr/lib/sane
Ubuntu 14.10 (x64): /usr/lib64/sane
Ubuntu 16.04\16.10 (x86): /usr/lib/sane
Ubuntu 16.04\16.10 (x64): /usr/lib/sane
Ubuntu 17.10\18.04 (x86): /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane
Ubuntu 17.10\18.04 (x86): /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane
So now the question is which should be the perfect path for XSANE to
look for the driver files. If "/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane" and
"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane" are the confirmed new locations then
the driver has to change. Need to know the correct path.
