I can confirm that for me, with all packages updated, copying the saned*service files from /lib/systemd/system/ to /etc/systemd/ and then running systemctl start saned.socket made everything work again.
Yay! I would still say this is a (packaging) bug though. It should work out of the box. Without copying the files, it does not work. I also tried the Avahi based stand alone mode as described in /usr/share/doc/sane-utils/README.Debian, but I could not make that work. The service never shows up in Avahi. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577137 Title: sane service masked and cannot be unmasked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1577137/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
