Problem
Skanpage, a KDE scanning application, crashes in Fedora 42 KDE due to broken dependencies. This happens both in new and (most) upgraded installs, and on a Live image as well.
When Skanpage crashes, you’ll either see a crash report or an SELinux alert:
Cause
Skanpage needs another package (tesseract) to run accordingly. This package is not automatically installed with Skanpage due to a packaging error, and it’s also not present on the KDE install image.
Related Issues
Bugzilla report: #2350549
Workarounds
To start Skanpage correctly, just install the package tesseract by running the following command at terminal:
sudo dnf install tesseract
After this, you can successfully start Skanpage.
Note: You can do this even on the KDE Live image, but of course this change won’t be permanent, like in an installed system.
