"I know that this does not fix the bug, but FWIW it may help somebody.
For now, this works for me:
make a file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-scanner-kludge.rules, containing:
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0130", MODE="664", GROUP="scanner"
(substitute your vendor and product numbers shown by sane-find-scanner)
Add yourself to the scanners group."
Tried it, Oscar, but I still have to use sudo. Something beyond my feeble grasp
is still out of whack. I just change the ownership of the file once I have
scanned with sudo chmod 666, but it is a pain having to do it all the time
(just lately I have had an unusual need of the scanner, so it is wearing my
sense of humour!)
Regards,
Bruce.
