Version: 2.13.2-0~ppa1focal OS: Kubuntu 20.04 Other details: No scanner is attached with the computer. I use gscan2pdf for stitching images scanned by a handheld scanner. The program worked perfectly till last Aug'23. Problem: gscan2pdf fails at command with the following error message. No logfile is generated.

How are you starting gscan2pdf? What does the following return? apt list libimage-sane-perl Regards Jeff
Thank you for your prompt reply. I run gscan2pdf from command prompt to get the error list. Here is the output you wanted: $apt list libimage-sane-perl Listing...

Please start gscan2pdf from the command line with the --log option: gscan2pdf --log=log then quit, and post the log file, which gscan2pdf should have compressed with xz.

If that failed, my first question is why you didn't see the same failure from the same line in /usr/share/perl5/Gscan2pdf/Scanner/Options.pm ? What do you see in line 8 of that file?

I take it, therefore, that you didn't comment out the line yourself sometime in the past? How did you install gscan2pdf? What about ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsane.so.1.0.29 ?
Please find the responses in red. I am not very sure. I think I installed it from ubuntu repository or might have taken it from sourceforge
Please reinstall the packages: sudo apt reinstall libsane1 libimage-sane-perl and try to start gscan2pdf again.

It looks like the version of libusb libsane was built against is not the same as the one you are running with.

What about: sudo ldconfig cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf If you start gscan2pdf as follows: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ gscan2pdf ? Can you start xsane, simple-scan or scanimage ?
soumyanath@ganak-desktop:~$ sudo ldconfig [sudo] password for soumyanath: soumyanath@ganak-desktop:~$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf # Multiarch support /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu soumyanath@ganak-desktop:~$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ gscan2pdf This one works. Please suggest what changes I need to make to run it normally
For me, this isn't a problem with gscan2pdf, but with the way that libsane was compiled (or better, linked) against libusb. i.e. the problem can only be fixed by a new version of libsane. As you are using Ubuntu, I suggest you raise a bug against the libsane package: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libsane
Thank you Jeff for your persistent effort in tracking down the bug. It has given me a workaround to run gscan2pdf. As advised, I will raise a separate request for libsane.
