Error during CMS conversion. Could not open scanner ICM profile.

[Alan Bruce]

The above words are exacltly what appeared on PC;s screen. 3 error messages in a row needed to be cancelled out before I could proceed to any other task. XSane worked one time only, before error message appeared. I removed and reinstalled all of the "sane" packages that I had downloaded and installed which were listed in the synaptic package manager presented upon a search for (Scanner). Problem still existed after reinstallation of "sane packages." The "Scanner Utility" program, also installed, works, however.
     The error message shows up when the program is searching for devices or scanner. The particular scanner used when error message appeares on screen is a UMAX Astra 2100U, and this is the only scanner I have.

I had the same problem. I unchecked "Enable Color Management" under "Preferences" and it works just fine now. If you want you use color management you need ICM profiles.

Thank you for reporting this bug. However, this bug can easily be solved.
As rp wrote, this problem can be solved by unchecking 'enable color management' in the preferences menu.

I think the more appropriate fix for this issue is to install the package "icc-profiles" and assign the profiles in xsane under Preferences > Setup > Color Profiles. For me, simply unchecking the enable-color profile option yielded very incorrect colors.
