Created attachment 68067 [details, diff] sane-backends-1.0.16-r2.patch
Note: portage user is not inside scanner group, so it can not `chgrp` to root:scanner so the test fails. My proposed solution in Attachment 68067 [details, diff]. :-) The other solution is to modify the configure script in order to skip that test, but I prefer this one.
Sounds reasonable, thanks. Didn't notice this since I didn't use userpriv (will do this from now on).
