libsane-common and sane-utils are are hold back on d-u

[vilde]

Since some time libsane-common and sane-utils are hold back by apt on d-u. Anyone else experienced that? Shall I do something about it or just wait?
XFC, pateince.

[ReinerS]

I am also waiting for that.

libsane-common has been held back for quite some time now.

[ReinerS]

Yes, sane-backends are in transition quite a while and seem not to make much progress.

Sometimes transitions can be held up by just one maintainer not taking action on his package(s)

I don't have experimental repos enabled and still got those same 2 packages showing up in my d-u as well.

Right, same here. Doesn't affect printing or scanning, so I don't care.

Fresh from the repo:

Code Auswählen Erweitern

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libsane
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libsane1
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libsane-common sane-utils
2 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I wonder why libsane grew a 1.

This happened yesterday:

[vilde]

Am I understanding this right? libsane1 will replace libsane and it's ok to do this and go on with the d-u?

[jure]

yes that`s right

Code Auswählen Erweitern

apt show libsane1
Package: libsane1
Version: 1.0.27-1
....
Conflicts: libsane (<< 1.0.27-1~)
Replaces: libsane (<< 1.0.27-1~)

Yes, fully upgraded KDE/plasma desktop and skanlite works perfectly on my old Epson Perfection 1640SU.

EDIT: it works fine on iso builds again

But xsane and simple-scan still require libsane.

That was not the problem - libsane is fine, the backends was not - if i remember correctly
