Package: libsane Version: 1.0.19~cvs20071213-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
SYMTOMS: After my recent upgrade, suddendly my (usb) mouse stopped resonding. An investigation gave the evidence, that the /dev filesystem misses some entries: The cause for the mouse stop functioning was, that /dev/input was completly missing. Instead, /dev/input/mice were now under /dev/mice. Fixing this temporarly in the xorg.conf gave me a functioning mouse again, but the windows manager then complaint about missing /dev/dsp. I did not check, if more than that two dev files were missing. FINDING THE CULPRIT: Instead I downgraded all packages upgraded to their last available state, which made the system working as it should. To find the offending package. I then upgraded the system some-packages-at-a-time. This "binary search" narrowed down to some packages. Eventually, after downgrading libsane to [DOWNGRADE] libsane 1.0.19~cvs20071213-4 -> 1.0.19~cvs20071213-1 the system worked as it should. I don't know whats the cause of this behaviour, and why I encountered it (as the package is quite a long time in unstable know.) I will try to gather more information about the issue on my machine. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libsane depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.7-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libexif12 0.6.16-2.1 library to parse EXIF files ii libgphoto2-2 2.4.0-8 gphoto2 digital camera library ii libgphoto2-port0 2.4.0-8 gphoto2 digital camera port librar ii libieee1284-3 0.2.11-3 cross-platform library for paralle ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libtiff4 3.8.2-7 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-8 userspace USB programming library ii makedev 2.3.1-84 creates device files in /dev ii udev 0.114-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages libsane recommends: ii sane-utils 1.0.19~cvs20071213-4 API library for scanners -- utilit -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
