Does the new Version 9.8 still relies on gtk2?
Yes, with gtk2 and all wxwidgets packages removed I got:
$ vuescan
vuescan: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ LANG=C pkgfile libgtk-x11-2.0.so
extra/gtk2
All OCR files have been removed
Changes is needed to the PKGBUILD, the OCR files have changed from version 9.8.35 and later. Prior to this they where named ocr_xx.bin, the new ones is called xxx.traineddata.
Does the new Version 9.8 still relies on gtk2? ... and in an e-mail (regarding wayland) hamrick mentioned wxwidgets, which is not in the depends-list?
Yeah it works now. Funnily enough I'm unable to run the downloaded version now. Only this AUR package works... Oh the wonders of closed source software....
EDIT
After a dozen or so emails with Mr. Hamrick I have to say he just doesn't care lmao. Puts the sob story in the "Introducing the VueScan Supporter Program: A New Way to Contribute" blogpost into a whole new context.
hmm - the actual version 9.8.33 seems work again as well
Was anyone able to solve this yet?
Must be something about the rest of the files inside the .rpm this uses. Like the udev rules or something.
What is strange is that the previous version works without problems while the latest one gives an error
@sdp8483: Unfortunately, this doesn't help me either. I still have the same problem.
What is the best way to proceed so that all remnants are uninstalled before reinstalling the package?
For tips on how to update this package: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Makepkg#Usage
TLDR: Use makepkg -c -si to remove old version and install new version, the -c flag cleans the vuescan-bin directory.

THE PKGBUILD IS NOW CONSIDERED LIKE A VCS ONE, THIS MEAN IT WILL NOT BE BUMPED FOR EVERY VERSION, REPORT ONLY BUILD PROBLEMS NOT NEW VERSIONS!!

OCR is only available for the professional edition, OCR files should be splitted to a separate pkgbuild? Send your opinion at my email
