Public bug reported:

Release:
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release:        20.04
Paket: glabels (3.4.1-1.2) [universe]

Expected that labels which were created with Ubuntu 18.04, including
barcode code 128, still displayed and could be printed.Unfortunately the
barcode is not displayed any more. Error Message Barcode is not valid -
free translation.

Further the gnu-barcode / barcode backend is not selectable for the
barcode object in glabels, even the barcode package is installed.

Assumption:

the barcode package does not install the library starting from 0.99 by
default, therefore the build of the glabels package does not include
this library during the build phase neither are the runtime libs
provided on the installed system.

Workaround which worked for me:

Uninstall the packages:
* barcode (0.99-3) [universe]
* glabels (3.4.1-1.2) [universe]
* glabels-data (3.4.1-1.2) [universe] 

Download and Install the barcode package from groovy (using dpkg -i):

* barcode (0.99-4) [universe]


Rebuild the glabels package from Source:

mkdir glabels-build
cd glabels-build/
apt-get source glabels
cd glabels-3.4.1/
debchange -i
dpkg-source --commit
debuild -us -uc -i -I

Install the fresh build package:

sudo debi


The barcode backend become available in glabels after the above steps.

Please find also the build packages attached.
