Missing dependency - gscan2pdf_2.11.2-1_all.deb

Hi Jeffrey, Thank you for the quick reply. I've done that, but liblocale-codes-perl still can't be found.

Dependencies not satisfied for v2.10.0-1

I'v just tried v2.8.1, and I've been trying to get my head round what's going on: the restart option works as expected - thank you - so, I use it to restart with the scanner on this time, and again get the error window. Selecting "Rescan ..." and clicking OK finds the scanner, Fine. If instead of restarting, I just select "Rescan .", then I get an error message "No devices found". So there is something in the "Rescan" code which operates differently depending on the state of the scanner when the...

Thanks Jeffrey. Will do.

Hi Jeffrey. Nice attempt! Certainly the error window will act as a reminder, but selecting "Whoops! ..." and clicking OK doesn't find the scanner, nor does selecting "Rescan ...". Since you've gone to the trouble of adding the error window, could "Whoops! ..." .. OK just restart the program? i.e. grab the original command line and exec it. Simplisticly, it needs replacement lines for 3803/3804: quit(); exec join q[ ], $0, @ARGV; That change causes a graceful restart. But even if the scanner is turned...

Thank you for continuing to consider this problem. Yes, it could well be because of the different backend. I've tested xsane. It doesn't show its main window until a scanner has been found. The window which has the message 'Scanner not found' has a Close button, which just kills the program. However, I spotted in 'Preferences' in gscan2pdf that the frontend can be changed from libimage-sane-perl to scanimage. If that is selected instead, then gscan2pdf does find the scanner if it is turned on after...

I think the problem has been there for a long time, but how it manifests itself has varied. I've tried various versions, back to 1.6.0, from .deb files: some behave similarly to 2.6.4, others just sit with an empty "Scan document" window, with or without the timer icon running. All the previous 2.6 versions fall in the latter category, and I think I would just have closed and restarted gscan2pdf; 2.6.4 throws up the error window, so highlights the problem. I've done a bit of digging into the code,...
