Comment 21 for bug 1948881

I can confirm / repeat that this issue affects 22.04(.1)LTS, and I don't think that LTS people will want to wait for 24.04LTS before they can use their scanners directly from GIMP!

There seem to have been a lot of GIMP-related commits to xsane since 0.999, so it is unclear to me how easy it would be to create a single patch to fix the issue in U22.04's current sources. It might be better to start again from a more recent copy of the xsane sources, whilst addressing comment #16 about the EULA.
