Re: [SOLVED] Problems with undefined symbol libusb_set_option in Chimaera release

Found the problem. At some point in the distant past, I had built libusb and installed it in /usr/local/lib. With the upgrade to Chimaera, this locally built library was out of sync. I deleted the libusb files /usr/local/lib and all is well again.

Hi All,

Thanks for releasing Chimaera. Upgrade went incredibly smoothly except for my scanner. When I try to run hp-scan, I get the error below:

roger@aardvark:~$ hp-scan 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hp-scan", line 40, in 
    import scanext
ImportError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsane.so.1: undefined symbol: libusb_set_option

I've tried uninstalling the hplip tools all the sane and libsane packages, etc. No success. When I reinstall, I get the above missing symbol.

There was discussion about this on the Ubuntu forums, but reinstalling libsane1-1.0.0 didn't fix it, neither did a forced reinstall.

Has anyone else seen this and is there a workaround?

Thanks,

Roger
