Bug#750392: simple-scan: 'Failed to execute child process "dbus-launch" (No such file or directory)'
Package: simple-scan
Version: 3.4.2-1
Severity: minor
I recently installed simple-scan on a headless system and ran it over
ssh X11 forwarding. When I did so, I repeatedly got the following
warning on the terminal:
> ** (simple-scan:3146): WARNING **: Error spawning command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=fd94f0446af2d16d46dd8a725328bba6 --binary-syntax --close-stderr': Failed to execute child process "dbus-launch" (No such file or directory)
I'm guessing that it wants to run the dbus-launch in the dbus-x11
package, but that package apparently doesn't appear anywhere in
simple-scan's dependency graph (at least as of wheezy). The warning
disappears if I manually install dbus-x11.
