[gentoo-user] xsane and sane compile error

[Dale]

Hi,

I'm doing my regular updates and got a strange error that looks like
some dependency got missed somehow.  This is the error I got:

This is a equery list of all the sane stuff installed and available:

I don't see a sane-1.0.0 available except for the backends package which
it shows as installed already.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Thanks

Odd. sane-config belongs to sane-backends, try re-emerge that one first, 
then emerge xsane.

What's the output of sane-config --version? (the thing may have gotten 
deleted/trashed meanwhile by the elves/spooks/aliens/whathaveyou)

Yea, I thought it was weird when I searched the forums and no one else
had this error.  Here is the info you requested:

> root@smoker / # sane-config --version
> 1.0.18
> root@smoker / #

I'll do some re-emerging and see what happens.

Thanks

Dale

OK, update.  I did a emerge sane-backends and then it has some config
files that needed updating and I did that.  After that, the updates ran
fine.   Maybe it just had to much to drink and got confused for a bit.

I did check the version above before I did the re-emerge though.  So it
had a good version but just didn't seem to know it yet. 

Thanks for the help.

As a colleague once said:

"It's software. You didn't really expect it to work, did you?"

:-)

Glad to have been able to help out
