Hi, I'll work on updating the backend to SANE 1.0.16 ASAP... > Can you update your patch?

The best is to avoid patches as a source tarball. It is > a maintenance nightmare. I've created a standalone source tarball (similar to sane-extra-backends) that will be used on the next release. It only compiles and installs the geniusvp2 backend, and it should be more friendly to test and install. > I have temporarily deactivated the "geniusvp2" backend in the Mandriva > SANE RPM now. I will put it back in as soon as an update is available. A new backend will be available soon.

I'm sorry, I should be fair here: It's not clear that this isn't a packaging or versioning problem in Debian. However, both the .14 and .15 releases are broken here (in different ways). > That's indeed more or less impossible.

Agreed; although I was venting I didn't mean to lay blame. It is, in fact, impossible for any developer to guarantee proper funcion on 50 models. I tired to do this myself long ago with cdparanoia, and didn't really succeed either. > So you're still working with SANE-1.0.13? Is 1.0.14 also broken? In the > end the differences to 1.0.13 are not that large. Yes, but--- I'll bet real money that Debian's .14 is not a clean .14. I can't look into more detail right now. I just moved to a new [which is to say, very old] house myself, and my LiDE are still packed up (of all the silly things, there are no grounded outlets in the whole house, so I can't plug in my desktop yet!)
