This does NOT seem to be a bug. It is a problem ON MY box.
I recently upgraded from Etch to Lenny so that I could get Firefox3
without going through all of the library hoops. I have had a number
of problems, most of which I have resolved. (Getting X working
properly was, indeed, a case of getting a real (NVIDIA) graphics card
instead of relying on the onboard Sis graphics.) The only problem
that remains, that I know of, is getting my scanner to work.
I have an Epson CX7400 All-In-One. The printer works fine and it
works as a stand alone copier. The scanner is giving me trouble. I
can't install sane. Sane depends on libsane-extras and it won't
install because it can not overwrite /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf which, in
Etch came from iscan which was installed from an .rpm using alien. I
have purged the iscan package, but the problem remains. The file is
still there. I have manually rm'd the file. It is no longer there.
But I still get the error when I try to install libsane-extras. It
still seems to think that the file is there, even though the package
has been purged and the file deleted.
How can I get sane to install and my scanner functioning?
Please help.
Further update. It appears that when I tried to purge the iscan package
it failed to purge.
And the error message?
That is why the file was still there. Now, I have
deleted the file, but the package is still installed. I can't get it to
purge and I can't install sane.
HELP!
