ebuild says it all: <snip> ewarn "Please note that this program is DEPRECATED and will be removed from Portage" ewarn "in the nearest future. It is recommended that you install the latest" ewarn "sane-backends (1.0.13 or newer) instead." </snip> Broken ebuild, doesn't compile w/ 2.6 kernels yet doesn't check for kernel version at all, obsoleted by sane-backends. Punt please.
Gone. I was completely unaware that this still existed, sorry.
