Hi!
There previously has been a race condition in the sane-backends net code
which Laurent Vivier found [1]. He had come up with a suggested patch to
address the issue, but the patch was never merged to the Debian package
or upstream, it seems.
So, before we go ahead and completely remove a feature that some people
might be using, I would like to ask that we actually test the patch that
Laurent suggested and see it helps with the problem. Not having verified
that we have actually properly fixed the related bug #743420 [2], we cannot
be exclude this particular bug as the problem Aaro is seeing here.
@Aaro: It would be nice if you could provide us with the backtrace of your
crash. sane-backends still has a dedicated -dbg package, for the
Avahi debug packages you will probably have to use Debian's debug
repository [2].
Thanks,
Adrian
