hi guys

here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=474706
there is Debian Bug report logs - #474706
xsane segfaults when trying a preview or scan

my solution:
uninstall and purge xsane, libsane, etc. with folder .sane in home
download and install:
libsane-extras_1.0.19.10_amd64.deb
libsane_1.0.19-17_amd64.deb
sane-utils_1.0.19-17_amd64.deb
xsane-common_0.995-4_all.deb
xsane_0.995-4_amd64.deb
from repository debian lenny

now xsane it's ok when click acquire, but not when click on acquire preview

on my ubuntu hardy heron 8.04.1 64 bit this problem affect only scanner hp scanjet 5370C (another scanner epson perfection was ok also before)
(now kernel is 2.6.24-21 and gnome 2.22.3)

thanks

This seems to be some issue with the avision backend. My Avision AV122 no longer works in Intrepid where it did used to work in Hardy. My HP multifunction works fine.

Interestingly I created a fresh Hardy install under VMWare to see if it worked there but alas that didn't work either. Below is the output from scanimage;

This seems to be a libsane problem.

On debbugs #474706 David Headland wrote on July 23rd 2008:

"I've managed to grab a few minutes to test libsane 1.0.19-15 with my
ScanJet 5300c this evening, and can report that scanning now works fine
for me"

Ubuntu Intrepid as of today still has "libsane-1.0.19-6ubuntu1

Can we have an update of libsane to a higher version? Ubuntu unstable does yet not have version "1.0.19.11": http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libsane-extras

I have the same problems with a ScanJet 5370C.

I filed a new bug under Bug #320985
