Thank you Philip, that got rid of the errors. I had to force a downgrade as 
the main repo has a newer version
Source: libkexiv2
Version: 4:15.04.1-0ubuntu1~ubuntu15.04~ppa1

Unfortunately my scan still dies at 27%. The only thing it complains about is 
one file very early in the scan.
/home/michael/Pictures/635csi.xcf: The file contains data of an unknown image
 type
