[scribus] Use XRite color probe on recent Ubuntu

[Sveinn í Felli]

Have you looked at the Argyll CMS ? Think it works with the 
colord-deamon, usually present in the *buntu distros.
The dispcalgui package is its graphical interface.

I have a Spider3, works mostly as a charm with Argyll.

Best regards,
