ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10 then xsane doesn't install

Asked by Phil

hi,
I upgrade from ubuntu 17.04 to ubuntu 17.10, then I want to reuse xsane but do not find it anymore.
I look deeper and found that xsane is not more there.

$ sudo apt-get install xsane

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 xsane : Depends: libsane1 (>= 1.0.24) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried:
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
$ sudo apt-get install -f
but always the same error.

I also tried:
$ sudo apt-get install xsane libsane1 xsane-common libsane

libsane is already the newest version (1.0.27+git20171029-zesty0).
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libsane1 : Depends: libsane-common (= 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu1) but 1.0.27+git20171029-zesty0 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

but no success
Thanks in advance for your answer and time
Phil

Hi,
I really apologize for delay, was abroad for my job.

$ apt-get --simulate install libsane-dev libcups2 sane-utils

seems mean that the command should be run without the --simulate option. Right ?

yes, the simulation looks promising, now execute

sudo apt-get libsane-dev libcups2 sane-utils

and then re-execute hp-check and copy/paste all output.

Hi,

seems the verb install was missing ;-) no problem of course

first step : ok
second step : no scan devices found so I have done :
  step2 A : hp-check as root
  step2 B : hp-check as user
  step2 C : hp-check as su from user

I have another computer running ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS and it works with no problem with the scanne (I made several scans today)

This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it
under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are
installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the
proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]

I also test a print (test page) from the HPLIP : ok
a scan failed from this tool however the message displays in a new window :
"failed to open deice 'hpaio:/net/Photosmart_2600_series?zc=HP2610': Operation not supported.

I can share the screenshot if needed
