That is what the sane-umax backend docs state so I didn't even plug in the supplied card. I had replaced my Adaptec 2940 with a BusLogic BT-958. Heard the aic7xxx-5.1.2 driver is now stable so I pluged in the Adaptec to handle the scanner & cdrom (slow device chain). You might want to consider 2 scsi chains because when the scanner is running it blocks the scsi bus it is attached to. Sane-0.74d works well. Make sure to compile the backend with Oliver Rausch's UMAX patch, allows gamma correction. For what it's worth I ordered a NCR810 to control the slow bus. The Adaptec still seems flaky. It's a 1994 card - haven't upgraded the bios - suspect that is the real problem. -Mike > > > Mike Nachlinger writes: > > > > Hi All, > > > > I've upgraded Debian 1.3.1r6 to 2.0 + some Slink libs. > > I've upgraded using dpkg instead of dselect. > > Trying to upgrade to libc6_2.0.7u-3 I get the following error; > > > > Usage: init 0123456SsQqAaBbCc > > dpkg: error processing libc6 (--configure): > > subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 > > Errors were encountered while processing: > > libc6 > > > > libc6_2.0.7u-2 installed ok.
