Hello, As I wrote before, installing the Avasys packages creates some problems due to the conflict with libsane-extras. As some essential packages, in particular libsane, depend on libsane-extras, removing it is not a solution. What I did on my testing system is the following: 1) dpkg --force-conflicts -i iscan_2.17.0-3_i386.deb 2) dpkg -i iscan-plugin-gt-xxxx_2.1.0-2_i386.deb # xxxx depends on scanner type 3) manually delete the iscan and iscan-plugin entries in /var/lib/dpkg/status I admit that this solution is not proper, but my V200 then works well with the sane frontends, e.g. xsane. Avasys should remove the conflict with libsane-extras to solve the issue. Best Regards Rainer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
