Hi, I would like to add I did a full install of Fedora 20 on my wife's computer and got the same behavior already reported. It also happens to me, in two different computers: one with fresh Fedora 20 installed and other with Fedora 20 upgraded from Fedora 19 I think that there are dependencies not solved. When I try to install gscan2pdf 1.2.0 from souceforge I get this: Error: Paquete: gscan2pdf-1.2.0-1.noarch (/gscan2pdf-1.2.0-1.noarch) Necesita: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.14.2) (The error message is in Spanish) Next, I force install with rpm and I try to run it, but I get the same error. gsca2pdf of Fedora 18 (gscan2pdf-1.0.6-1) which I have to use due to a bug in gscan2pdf of Fedora 19 (I don't know how the F20 version works, obviously) also have dependencies problems in Fedora 20: Error: Paquete: gscan2pdf-1.0.6-1.fc18.noarch (/gscan2pdf-1.0.6-1.fc18.noarch) Necesita: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.16.1) And when installed neither works... Bug #1033968 seems to be a duplicate of this bug. I have exactly the same problem with F20 final release! $ uname -a Linux vaio.fritz.box 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 5 14:01:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) Is there a workaround to use gscan2pdf under F20? It seems that gscan2pdf has been removed of Fedora because it doesn't work with new Perl version: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/perl5.18#Contingency_Plan Now I'm using Xsane which also can create multipage PDF projects. Sorry, this is the link: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/perl5.18#Upgrade.2Fcompatibility_impact (In reply to carlos.rca185 from comment #6) > It seems that gscan2pdf has been removed of Fedora because it doesn't work > with new Perl version: > > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/perl5.18#Contingency_Plan No, it's not removed from F20! You even can install it with the new "Software" tool. > > Now I'm using Xsane which also can create multipage PDF projects. But can you also do OCR with tesseract/cuneinform for searchable PDFs? I found gscan2pdf is the easiest way to create PDFs with OCR. Confirmation that gscan2pdf is broken and won't start on a fresh Fedora 20 install. *** Bug 1033968 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Looks to be an issue with perl 5.18 indeed. I've emailed upstream at their -help mailinglist as my perl is too limited to figure out what is wrong here. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1030162 *** |
