With all programs above I can scan - right. I can also make an PDF of the scan. With gscan2pdf I can scan many pages at once (fledbed scanner or ADF) and convert all pages directly to PDF. In addition, OCR is performed. And a pdf is generated with the text from OCR as hocr layer. The special feature is that a searchable PDF can be created at once. As far as I know it is not possible with simple-scan nor with scanlite nor with gambas3-gb-scanner. The special thing is that I can correct then OCR Text directly before I save the file. And a few other things that simplify the work. It is not just another scan program. It is the only program I know what allows archiving in this way. best regards Stephan

No, mysql_upgrade updates the table data (schema 'mysql'), that's not a
problem. The server itself works just fine.
But API/ABI in library /usr/lib/libmariadb.so and header files
in /usr/include/mysql/ changed. Lots of programs break because of this.
