I made a new attempt with bionic, and yes!!
@renbag: You were absolutely correct, and it's brscan2 that requires the
presence of libusb-0.1-4. I think this explains it:
$ ldd /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother2.so.1.0.7 | grep libusb
libusb-0.1.so.4 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusb-0.1.so.4
(0x00007f79f3e57000)
libusb-0.1.so.4 was used when libsane-brother2.so.1.0.7 was compiled, in
other words, and Brother should ideally have stated the libusb-0.1-4
package (which installs that .so file) as a depend in the brscan2 .deb
package.
So now I have been able to confirm that the proposed package for bionic
in the PPA makes a difference. Would still appreciate more feedback
before starting to look for a sponsor who can upload.
