Hello, looks like the diff between groovy and focal releases is 425k lines of code changed, not something that is easily checkable for regressions, backports might be a really better area to cover this issue.
As said by the Debian maintainer in the Debian bug report, this bug is not easily fixable, if not with a new release (however I didn't try to spot the change by looking at the git log) I would like to know if release team has a different opinion, because uploading the groovy one into focal might be a no-go ** Changed in: sane-backends (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Also affects: sane-backends (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: sane-backends (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to sane-backends in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1897962 Title: Out of Memory Error with Brother DCP-J7720W Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in sane-backends source package in Focal: New Bug description: Installed XSane from the repository but when I scan the viewer screen is blank and if I try to save I get "Error during save: out of memory" I believe that escl driver in 20.04 sane-backends is a problem and it is related to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=962539 sane-backends 1.0.31 should be considered for focal-backports and that if possible, escl driver could be individually SRU (Stable release update) in focal-updates. ppa:sane-project/sane-git fixes the issue.
