Hi Charles. I suspect that you have some custom installation of the Simple Scanner. What is the output of the command:
$ which simple-scan According to documentation: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/simple-scan/filelist it shoule be: /usr/bin/simple-scan Try to run simple-scan from `/usr/bin/simple-scan` location and check if it is working for you. I also checked and standard installation of the simple-scanner uses correct library: $ ldd /usr/bin/simple-scan linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffebbff5000) ... libsane.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsane.so.1 (0x00007f0e15100000) libcolord.so.2 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcolord.so.2 (0x00007f0e14ee0000) ... ** Changed in: simple-scan (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: simple-scan (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to simple-scan in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869524 Title: Simple Scan doesn't load Status in simple-scan package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Simple Scan version 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 fails to load in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS simple-scan: error while loading shared libraries: libcolord.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Related to bug# 1869522 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1869522 Not sure if I should be reporting the bug against Simple Scan, Gnome, or Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
