Package: libsane Version: 1.0.24-14 Severity: normal Up to and including 1.0.24-13, scanimage (and libsane's other reverse dependencies) found the available scanner. As of 1.0.24-14, scanimage tries to use a non-existing device name, e.g.:
$ scanimage --help Usage: scanimage [OPTION]... Start image acquisition on a scanner device and write image data to standard output. Parameters are separated by a blank from single-character options (e.g. -d epson) and by a "=" from multi-character options (e.g. --device-name=epson). -d, --device-name=DEVICE use a given scanner device (e.g. hp:/dev/scanner) --format=pnm|tiff file format of output file -i, --icc-profile=PROFILE include this ICC profile into TIFF file -L, --list-devices show available scanner devices -f, --formatted-device-list=FORMAT similar to -L, but the FORMAT of the output can be specified: %d (device name), %v (vendor), %m (model), %t (type), %i (index number), and %n (newline) -b, --batch[=FORMAT] working in batch mode, FORMAT is `out%d.pnm' or `out%d.tif' by default depending on --format --batch-start=# page number to start naming files with --batch-count=# how many pages to scan in batch mode --batch-increment=# increase page number in filename by # --batch-double increment page number by two, same as --batch-increment=2 --batch-prompt ask for pressing a key before scanning a page --accept-md5-only only accept authorization requests using md5 -p, --progress print progress messages -n, --dont-scan only set options, don't actually scan -T, --test test backend thoroughly -A, --all-options list all available backend options -h, --help display this help message and exit -v, --verbose give even more status messages -B, --buffer-size=# change input buffer size (in kB, default 32) -V, --version print version information scanimage: open of device hpaio:/usb/officejet_5500_series?serial=MY42QF209H96 failed: Invalid argument Type ``scanimage --help -d DEVICE'' to get list of all options for DEVICE. List of available devices: hpaio:/usb/Officejet_6500_E709a?serial=MY01C3X12W05G3 Note that the default device name is not the same as that given in the list of available devices. If I used the --help -d DEVICE, then the scanner is found OK. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libsane depends on: ii acl 2.2.52-2 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.31-5 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.31-5 ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libcups2 2.0.3-10 ii libexif12 0.6.21-2 ii libgphoto2-6 2.5.8-1 ii libgphoto2-port12 2.5.8-1 ii libieee1284-3 0.2.11-12 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.4.1-2 ii libsane-common 1.0.24-14 ii libtiff5 4.0.5-1 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.19-1 ii udev 225-1 Versions of packages libsane recommends: ii libsane-extras 1.0.22.3 ii sane-utils 1.0.24-14 Versions of packages libsane suggests: ii avahi-daemon 0.6.31-5 ii hplip 3.14.6-1+b2 -- no debconf information
