xsane and xscanimage crash on 64bit karmic with epson2 driver

[Popolon]

Binary package hint: libsane-extras

After upgrading to Karmic (9.10), Epson Stylus photo RX620 can't be used with xsane or xscanimage, both crash with segfault, printing still works fine.

Could be related to bug #206040 ???

I tried to force purge and reinstall, rm ~/.sane but it still crash. there are no debug symbols, even after libsane-dbg and libsane-extras-dbg package installation.

Here is the result with gdb

For Xscanimage :

(gdb) run

Same crash here on 9.10 with both xsane and gnome-scan, with a RX700 printer

[getut (rtkluttz)]

Same crash here with Epson RX500 printer and 64bit Karmic Workstation. I have deleted ~/.sane and tried running as root and still segmentation fault.

[barton (bob-barton)]

I appear to have the same problem - 64bit karmic workstation, Epson Perfection V700 Photo scanner on firewire.

[Kevin Moore (lockjaw)]

I have both 32 and 64 bit machines running 9.10, and xsane segfaults on both when trying to talk to my Epson RX620. I don't think the problem is specific to the 64 bit architecture.

[joce (jocelyn-fontaine)]

I have a segmentataion fault with my 64 bits Karmic Laptop and my RX600 epson.
