Comment 1 for bug 1795725

Hi Jeremy,

Since I was not aware of this bug, I have involved myself in bug #1728012 and try to turn it into a bug report again and a base for some action.

Would appreciate if you could take a look at the latest comments at the other bug, especially comment #232. As you can see I got stuck completely as regards scanning on bionic. I noticed that you were involved in this package at the time, and wonder if you have some theory about the reason why scanning fails for me on bionic. I can scan with my device on 16.04 and 19.04. Missing package dependency?

As regards why support for the non-multiarch directories was stopped only around 2017/2018, Debian has had a patch to keep up the support for a long time, but it was (accidentally?) disabled:
