[AnRkey (anrkey)]

any work arounds or quick fixes for this issue?

[AnRkey (anrkey)]

btw: same issue exists in karmic version of this app.

[guysoft (guysoft)]

Hi all,
The bug is derived from the Debian package.
The work around is to install the .deb package available on the swscanner website (currently 0.2.2):
http://www.swscanner.org/en/node/37#attachments

This version does not crash on ubuntu or Debian to date

[Phillip Susi (psusi)]

This package has been removed from Ubuntu. Closing all related bugs.
