<Solved> How to install Install libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1 ?

[MenthaSuaveolens]

I installed LM19, but the Epson V300 Photoscanner fails to work : Bug #1728012 Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change.

In comment 12 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... omments/12 It is suggested
to install libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1. How can one install this package?

After

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libsane1=1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1

an error is returned that there is no such package

You are taking that out of context I believe. That bug report is about an older pre-release version of the library. His solution was to upgrade it. You are already running the release version of the package, which is a newer version, so this does not apply to you.

I know nothing about your issue or how to fix it but I'm quite sure what you found there is not the solution.

The installed version in LM19 = 1.0.27-1~experimental3ubuntu2

Code: Select all

sudo apt install libsane1=1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1

It is an attempt to downgrade the current installed version

It's in the Artful (17.10) repo - you can download the deb appropriate for your architecture from https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful-updates/libsane1.

Looking at the dependencies you'll probably need to install https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful-upda ... ane-common first.

Be very careful to review any messages when installing about impact on other packages.
