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:

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.

An update to Skanpage (version 25.04.0) has been released to address this problem - it will now install tesseract automatically with it. Just update your system as usual and this problem should be resolved.
