No, only one. You only need what's in the -plugin RPM.

You really are at the WRONG place to complain about that, you know?

 The module and firmware files will be available in the usr/lib/iscan and
 usr/share/iscan directories, relative to the current directory. You need
 to copy the module files to /usr/lib/iscan and the firmware file to
 /usr/share/iscan.

Seems clear to me?

The -plugin one.

 The module and firmware files will be available in the usr/lib/iscan and
 usr/share/iscan directories, relative to the current directory. You need
 to copy the module files to /usr/lib/iscan and the firmware file to
 /usr/share/iscan.

Seems clear to me, here again?


If it's not easy enough for you, direct your complaints to
Epson. There's not much I can do to help, given that I have about as
much information as about everybody else.

epkowa is included in libsane-extras as a service to my users. It
costs me time and effort to deal with this crap, given that Epson
provides absolutely nothing to distro packagers. If you don't like the
way it is now, complain to Epson, trash your scanner and buy another
one from a more friendly, less autistic vendor.
