Hi,
I am looking for someone to merge the proposed change to upstream in

oup_id=30186&atid=410366
So we can get a new package/release and make the 5300's scanner to
work
again !
It doesn't work in ubuntu since a long time now :

Thanks
this bug has been fixed in git for almost a year and was included in
the 1.0.25 release of sane. Are you using 1.0.25 or a git checkout? If
so, this issue cannot be the reason for the fault you are seeing.....
I assume Martin is using the libsane package from Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, that package has a *very* misleading version number (in
wily, xenial and yakkety). It reads: 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2. This
gives the impression that you're using something *after* the 1.0.25
release while in fact you are using something from the git repository
*before* the 1.0.25 release.
In terms of Debian/Ubuntu versioning, the package should be using:
1.0.25~git20150528-1ubuntu2
Part of the confusion is probably to blame on the way we specify the
version in configure.ac.
As for Martin's problem, that was fixed on 20150627 so it's not in the
regular Ubuntu package. The easiest way to solve this would probably be
to use the *snapshot* packages from Rolf's PPA
https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git
@Rolf> You may want to change the versioning of your packages to use the
tilde (~) too. That way, an official 1.0.26 will take precedence
when available.
Hope this helps,
Hi,
Thank you for the helpful answer, and for the provided workaround.
I hope the official ubuntu package will be updated soon ! :D
