IIRC it should be v-1.0.6 =8-). I ask because I tried to install that from mostang.org. There was a bug in it complaining some stuff around the umax_pp drivers. I adaptedthe Makefiles on two evenings and got it compiling (I'm no hacker ;-/ ) Afterwards I contacted the maintainer of that part of code - explaining the problems I experienced. But he didn't tell me about any bug-fixing solution till now. For my feeling (I'm no hacker :-( ) this problems were in 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 as well. I got the same make-error when compiling it from deb-src. > If you have a SANE supported > scanner, please test this package (I don't have a scanner, so I > can't). > As it was a lot of work (not shure if I can reproduce it) I don't want to kill my 1.0.6 even if it's not debian's, bacause it works. But, I promise to try your package if I've a bit time after the weekend (which I have to be at a congress around 800miles from home ;-), and I can't promise to do it tomorrow. BUT I bought a new scanner that works with sane-1.0.6 at the moment. So we 'll see. ;-) Good night and have a good time -- M.f.G. Georg Koss mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
