I understand why /usr/lib64/ doesn't work right now on Ubuntu (that's a directory commonly used by Fedora and Red Hat distros).
I don't understand why /usr/lib/sane/ doesn't work according to the comments here. When sane-backends was converted to multiarch, a patch was added that I think was supposed to enable /usr/lib/sane/ to still be supported. https://jff.email/cgit/sane-backends.git/commit/?id=ac1cb335be https://jff.email/cgit/sane-backends.git/tree/debian/patches/0125-multiarch_dll_search_path.patch If that patch worked, then maybe it makes sense to just add /usr/lib64/ there too. I don't have a scanner myself to test any of this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728012 Title: Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1728012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
