Guy,
I'm no expert on this and since I use fink to install this was a
little tricky.
Here's what I did. I edited the fink info file for sane-backends to
uncomment the patch command, and placed the patch file in the same
directory as the fink info file. The I ran a fink rebuild command. As
the build was in progress I was able to see the patch executing, so I'm
pretty sure it worked ok. Is there any way to double check ?
Anyway the good or the bad news depending on how you look at it, is
that I get the same issue
