Did the verification using a Brother MFC-240C USB scanner. Preparations:
* Installed brscan2 (brscan2-0.2.5-1.amd64.deb) * Installed libusb-0.1-4 (ought to be a dependency of brscan2 but that's not the case) * Added myself to the lp group (sudo adduser $USER lp) focal ----- Verified the test case using version 1.0.29-0ubuntu5.2 of libsane, libsane-common and sane-utils from focal-proposed. The scanner was found and I could scan. bionic ------ Verified the test case using version 1.0.27-1~experimental3ubuntu2.4 of libsane1, libsane-common and sane-utils from bionic-proposed. The scanner was found, which is an improvement, but I could not scan. brscan2 installs files not only in /usr/lib64/sane, but also directly in /usr/lib64, and to be able to scan I had to add one of the symlinks previously used to work around the absence of the proposed fix: $ ls -l /usr/lib/libbr* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 sep 19 02:49 /usr/lib/libbrscandec2.so -> ../lib64/libbrscandec2.so.1.0.0 So in my case this proved to be a fragile solution for bionic. But for drivers which only installs in /usr/lib64/sane it should be a safe solution of a long standing issue. Conclusion ---------- Even if the solution isn't sufficient for bionic in my case, it's a step in the right direction, and I would consider the proposed upload verified for both focal and bionic. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic verification-needed-focal ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-bionic verification-done-focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835220 Title: Please support /usr/lib64/sane To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1835220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
