Simple rename of the ebuild seems to work fine (though I would check about the bug #106035, if ! use qt3 ; then ... )

!!Important note!!! (might have to be added to the ebuild as a warning...if anyone else lives my hell):

I had to re-emerge media-gfx/sane-backends and then re-add hpaio to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf . I went to 1.6.7 because my scanner stopped working with the upgrade to 1.6.6a. So rebuilding the backends might have also fixed my problem with the 1.6.6a.

A symptom of the problem:
In a shell...
 export SANE_DEBUG_DLL=128
 scanimage -L | grep hpaio

I unfortunately don't have the error message anymore but the sane backend complains that it's unable to load the hpaio backend.

Copying 1.6.6a ebuild as 1.6.7 ebuild and putting it on portdir overlay seems to work fine in my system.

thanks, I fixed it. Did not see anything with qt3 to fix? Care to give me a patch? diff -u oldebuild newebuild > patch

Well, in my case, there was nothing to "fix". Don't think there is anything to fix in this case.
