Comment 19 for bug 208405

They now provide a 32 bit and 64 bit debian package for iscan and plugins. However I got stuck with this:

# dpkg -i iscan_2.19.2-1_amd64.deb iscan-plugin-gt-s600_2.1.0-2_amd64.deb
Selecting previously deselected package iscan.

I installed it with dpkg --force-depends -i .... and in /usr/lib made the following link:
# ln -s libltdl.so.7 libltdl.so.3

Don't know if that link was needed but this procedure enables you to install and use iscan on Ubuntu Jaunty.

Hope this can be packaged soon, the request is more than a year old and now source code and .deb packages for Ubuntu (even for different architectures) are available.
