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

Yeah, I can read that this is considered a VCS package, but AUR gives an error when updating to the latest version. As long as there is a version number in AUR, it goes out of date when a new version is released. On a side note, the new version is quite different and much nicer than the old version, so a version bump is not really out of place here.

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

Redi commented on 2024-04-30 09:46 (UTC)

Was anyone able to solve this yet?

Redi commented on 2024-04-09 19:30 (UTC)

Must be something about the rest of the files inside the .rpm this uses. Like the udev rules or something.

Pafrape commented on 2024-04-09 16:31 (UTC)

What is strange is that the previous version works without problems while the latest one gives an error

userfriendly commented on 2024-04-07 15:23 (UTC)

@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?
