I'm using RH8.0 which ships with older sane/xsane files. I removed the sane*rpm and xsane*rpms but did not remove other RPMs that relied on them ( rpm -e --nodeps --force ) and then installed the newer sane/xsane stuff from source. kdegraphics and so on complain about the removal of sane* because they rely on libsane.so. Re-installing sane from source satisfies that reliance. > > I have a Mandrake 9.0 distro with 2.4.19 Kernel version with the USB module > charged at init (UHCI) and the sane-find-scanner returns that: > > # No SCSI scanners found.
