   Some here may remember that over the last few years I've been ploughing   
   through a family history project involving thousands of documents from   
   two branches of our family going back many generations to at least the   
   reign of Queen Anne, and that I've been scanning big documents in   
   sections and stitching those together with photo panorama stitching software   
      
   Undoubtedly the best for this has been Image Composite Editor or ICE   
   (Windows).  However, this failed me for the last big family tree, a   
   Holroyd (Yorkshire family) tree of 3 x 19 A4 sections, which surprised   
   and disappointed me, as previously it had handled a bigger 5 x 17   
   sections tree pretty well.   
      
   Accordingly I've spent the last week in Hugin (Linux) creating control   
   points between neighbouring sections.  However, when I came to try to   
   create the panorama, it spewed out errors that I've not seen before, and   
   about which I've not, so far in a brief search, found out much about   
   online, as follows:   
      
   First, a dialogue box is shown twice in quick succession ...   
      
   PTBatcherGUI   
      
   An assertion failed!   
      
   /usr/include/wx-3.0/strvararg.h(462): assert "(argtype &   
   (wxFormatStringSpecifier::value)) == argtype" failed in   
   wxArgNormalizer(): format specifier doesn't match argument type   
      
   Backtrace:   
      
   1  wxEntry(int&, wchar_t**)   
   2  __libc_start_main   
      
      
   ... and thereafter the batch processing log then shows multiple errors   
   similar to ...   
      
   enblend: note: seam-line end point outside of cost-image   
   enblend: note: contour #1 of 1, segment #1 of 1, vertex #1583 of 1590   
      
   ... and ...   
      
   unable to run Dijkstra optimizer   
      
      
   Note:  PCs tried are Dell Precision M6800 32GB RAM, Dell Precision M6700   
   24GB RAM, and Dell Precision M6300 8GB RAM, all running Ubuntu 22.04.5   
   LTS.  Hugin Panorama Creator, Help, About on the first and best PC gives   
   Hugin version as 2023.0.0.d88dc56ded0e, but also gives an error "File   
   couldn't be loaded: '/usr/share/hugin/xrc/data/COPYING.txt'   
      
   All three attempts to stitch exhibited the same above errors.   
      
   Any ideas?
