Package: xsane Version: 0.97-3 Severity: normal When using the network backend, trying to change options like the binary/gray/colour selection or flatbed/transparency unit will produce a dialog box with 'Failed to set value of option mode: invalid argument'. This does not happen using xsane with the real backend directly. I have seen this with the epkowa backend (in libsane-extras 1.0.15.9) driving an epson 4990, and a friend sees exactly the same behaviour with the epson backend driving a 4870.
The _really_ strange thing is that there's a very simple workaround; playing with some other controls _before_ touching the colour or source control, eg the 'colour range' dropdown, or just bringing up the preferences window and cancelling it again, makes everything work properly! -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xsane depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgimp2.0 2.2.6-1 Libraries necessary to run the GIM ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libieee1284-3 0.2.10-1 cross-platform library for paralle ii libjpeg62 6b-9 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsane 1.0.15-8 API library for scanners ii libtiff4 3.7.2-2 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.10a-8 userspace USB programming library ii xsane-common 0.97-3 GTK+-based X11 frontend for SANE ( ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
