Title:
Unfunctional plustek scanner in Ubuntu 20.10
Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in sane-backends source package in Groovy:
Fix Released
Status in sane-backends package in Debian:
Unknown
Bug description:
* Impact
The plustek driver isn't working in 20.10
* Test case
Try doing a copy of a document on a plustek based device
* Regression potential
The locking option was disabled until 20.10, the locking code relies
on a lock directory to exist in /var/lock but that location is not
persitant which means the locking can't work. Debian has turned the
option off again, we are going the same in the SRU because it's safer
than trying to fix an option that never got properly tested. There is
special verification to do, just check that plustek and other devices
are working correctly.
