If usbutils is installed, using the the provided program lsusb, it lists my installed usb scanner (snapscan 1212u) If I try to use any program that uses libusb (0.18) or sane-find-scanner, my scanner is no longer seen. If I remove usbutils and re-emerge libusb, problem is eliminated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge usbutils 2.sane-find-scanner no longer sees usb devices (any user including root) 3.remove usbutils 4.re-emerge libusb 5.sane-find-scanner recognizes usb device Actual Results: sane-find-scanner sees usb device Expected Results: See the usb devices
I really don't know. Try asking upstream about this issue.
try: equery files libusb equery files usbutils you'll see that usbutils comes with its private libusb which conflicts with libusb proper. my advice would be for usbutils to depend on libusb and use libusb proper.
