But as $(prefix)/etc is default, a different setting means, that the user used --sysconfdir explicitly. Why should we warn about that? Maybe the user likes to have it in /opt/settings/sane.d/? We could print something like: Installation directories: libraries: ... binaries: .../bin and .../sbin configuration: ... man pages: ... Bye, Henning
