Currently, CoBang only read square QR code. It should support 2D barcode, too.

CoBang already can read some 2D barcode, but not this one: barcode

This type of barcode is PDF 417 and ZBar doesn't support it.

Found zxinglight, which can read PDF-417, but there is problem in its dependency.

zxinglight depends on glassechidna/zxing-cpp, which doesn't make into Debian/Ubuntu repository. Debian/Ubuntu instead supply nu-book/zxing-cpp, which looks more actively developed.
