Source: sane-backends
Version: 1.0.30-1~experimental2
Followup-For: Bug #931297
I support this, and all of Gunnar's reasoning. We have a patch
already for something almost identical, and there's still 3rd party
drivers out there that install in /usr/lib64/sane -- e.g. Samsung also
has drivers showing this, and I would guess there still are a bunch
other around.
My impression is that it would be trivial to fix the issue so that
these drivers work out of the box. Yes, their authors should fix them
(and some are going the right direction, e.g. there are now Epson
drivers installing the the right multiarch directory), but we
unfortunately cannot reasonably expect most drivers out there getting
fixed anytime soon (especially ones for older hardware), so I think we
can make the lives of users a little easier here.
I myself patched 0125-multiarch_dll_search_path.patch to add lib64 on
my end (patch attached), and it seems to work just fine.
Thanks!
