[Comment 1 Octavio Ruiz (Ta^3) 2005-09-09 15:15:56 UTC]

Created attachment 68067 [details, diff]
sane-backends-1.0.16-r2.patch

[Comment 2 Octavio Ruiz (Ta^3) 2005-09-09 15:34:25 UTC]

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.

[Comment 3 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2005-09-11 23:34:22 UTC]

Sounds reasonable, thanks. Didn't notice this since I didn't use userpriv (will
do this from now on).
