Bug Description
Binary package hint: gscan2pdf
The cuneiform version in ubuntu has no libmagick++-support (Bug #654767). Therefore it can only process uncompressed BMP v3 images.
Trying anything else leads to OCR being cancelled. On the console this is printed:
> /tmp/lD1hIbHasU
> *** unhandled exception in callback:
> *** Error: cannot open /tmp/lD1hIbHasU
> *** ignoring at /usr/bin/gscan2pdf line 12513.
As a workaround gscan2pdf should convert the images before passing them over to cuneiform.
