-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 surely there is something we can learn from the linux packages mustek provides[1]?
i know there were reports of them not working, but still i downloaded and extracted the deb package. it contains a few files: ./usr: bin/ etc/ lib/ ./usr/bin: gamma4scanimage* sane-config* sane-find-scanner* scanimage* ./usr/etc: sane.d/ ./usr/etc/sane.d: dll.conf* ./usr/lib: libsane.la* libsane.so@ libsane.so.1@ libsane.so.1.0.19* sane/ ./usr/lib/sane: libsane-mustek_usb2.la* libsane-mustek_usb2.so.1@ libsane-mustek_usb2.so@ libsane-mustek_usb2.so.1.0.19* they put dll.conf in /usr/etc/sane.d but on my system it resides in just /etc/sane.d. if i installed it, i would have to use --force-architecture. also, it will overwrite the files i currently have installed. if, i want to remove it will it what will happen? will it just delete the files or does dpkg make backups or something so it will revert to the previous files? maybe it's possible to manually backup some of the current files i have and copy over the files from this package? 1. http://www.mustek.com.tw/apprg/showdriverinfo?LID=2&PRODUCTID=SE_A3USB1200Pro&LSID=8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREIAAYFAkupF6kACgkQXhfCJNu98qAs1ACcDH5JIgzLYp+ppzlw3LSZWX2N q4gAoPcFKk80aDqGAdfVZ6jF7/GGv4q2 =pGh2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
