Thanks! It will be great to also backport it to Xenial. So following workaroun would no be needed: https://kitson-consulting.co.uk/blog/ubuntu-brother-printer-scanner-network-setup

However, some .deb files with scanner drivers, typically provided by Brother, install files in /usr/lib64/sane. This issue has been discussed in bug #1728012, but was broken out from there to not block another more important change in bionic. sane-backends 1.0.31-1~experimental1 adds support for /usr/lib64/sane, and so do the debdiffs attached to this bug report for focal and bionic. [Test case] * Configure an affected scanner with drivers installed via e.g. brscan2 * Try to scan with simple-scan -> Find that the scanner is not found * Install libsane{,1}, libsane-common and sane-utils from {focal,bionic}-proposed * Try to scan again -> Scanner found and scanning works [Regression risk] This only adds a directory to the lib search path via an existing patch, so the regression risk should be minimal.
