Description Hypnos 2005-04-21 00:37:28 UTC

Currently the ebuild reads:

******
DEPEND="media-gfx/sane-backends
(....)
******

when it should read

******
DEPEND="media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.4
(....)
******

At patch to the ebuild is attached.

The configure step of emerging xsane-0.96 fails otherwise.  This requirement is indicated in both the configure srcipt and the docfile "xsane.INSTALL".

As far as I can see from the ChangeLog, there has never been a sane-backends version < 1.0.5 in portage.
Could you perhaps explain how you noticed this "problem" and why you think it should be fixed? Just wondering...

*shrug*   I hadn't upgraded xsane in a very long time.  When I finally did so last week, I ran into this problem, with the symptoms reported above and fixed with the patch supplied.

It's possible that I had to rebuild sane-backends anyway, and the error was due to a binary incompatibility and the fix was irrelevant.

Anyway, if Portage will have only >=sane-backends-1.0.4 into the future, it's a non-issue.  I am closing.
