Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2019-05-09 07:51:22 UTC

The is just a warning about a missing optional feature and shown only once. If you start gscan2pdf again, the warning won't be shown anymore. gscan2pdf does depend on pdftk because:

(1) It's only an optional feature that not everybody needs.

(2) pdftk was removed from Fedora 20 due to technical and license issues. See bug #1033302.

I will try to patch out the warning, but I will keep the functionality because users can obtain pdftk in different means (e.g. by purchasing a proprietary license).

Okay, thanks for the F31, but is the fix for the F30?

Comment 3 Fedora Update System 2019-05-09 08:51:10 UTC

gscan2pdf-2.5.2-2.fc30 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 30. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-b6c9a36249

Comment 4 Bob Schultz 2019-05-09 20:49:32 UTC

The update fixes pdftk problem, but there's another bug. Changing scan resolution from the default 100 ppi to 200 ppi creates invalid syntax used for sane parameters:
"default-scan-options" : {
      "backend" : [
         {
            "resolution" : 200
         }
      ]
   },
   "device" : "hp5590:libusb:001:006",
   "device blacklist" : null,
   "downsample" : "",
   "downsample dpi" : 150,
   "frontend" : "libimage-sane-perl",
   "image type" : null,
   "keywords" : null,
   "keywords-suggestions" : null,
   "libimage-sane-perl version" : "0.14",
   "message" : {
      "Error processing with tesseract: Detected %%d diacritics" : {},
      "Some pages have not been saved.\nDo you really want to quit?" : {},
      "gscan2pdf: sane_start: Invalid argument" : {}
   },

This is first use of scanner since f29-->f30 upgrade a week ago. gscan2pdf worked flawlessly for years prior.
