Bug Description
[Impact]
Starting xsane produces the message:
ERROR: xsane-startimage not found. Looks like xsane is not installed correct.
It appears that the files in xsane-common are not copied into the location where xsane looks for the file xsane-startimag
A similar problem was reported in late 2019 for debian.
[Test Plan]
You need a focal machine with a connected scanner to reproduce the issue.
* Start xsane from terminal
* Notice the error message as well as the incomplete UI
Then install xsane and xsane-common from focal-proposed, and find that the issue is no longer present.
[Where problems could occur]
The proposed change simply copies a .pnm file to a location where the program expects it to reside, and adds a symlink to the docs on disk. Can't think of any side effects of these measures.
