I have an Epson Perfection V500 scanner. It worked perfectly until upgrading from Kubuntu 17:04 to 17:10. Now the scanner cannot be found. I have tried reinstalling the drivers from iscan-gt-x770-bundle-1.0.1.x64.deb. This will not install saying

Package libsane is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libsane1:i386 libsane1

E: Package 'libsane' has no installation candidate

Help please. No scanner means no work. No work means move back to Windows. Really don't want to do that!!!
