XSANE install problem

When I tried to install The XSANE scanner program and it gave me this error

It's the 64 bit version
xsane_0.998-5ubuntu1_amd64.deb

I tried the 32-bit version and got the same error

I'm running
Release 18.04.1 LTS (Bionic Beaver) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 4.15.0-33-generic x86_64
MATE 1.20.1

Launchpad shows that the version of xsane you’re trying to install is for trusty, not bionic. See -

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane

Try installing 0.999-5ubuntu2. This is available in the current bionic repositories. Good luck daldude.

Why are you trying to install package using Gdebi?

Are you sure that you know how to install software on Ubuntu?

XSane is packaged, so you can simply install it with

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xsane
