RHBA-2009:0254 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated sane-backends packages that resolve several issues are now available.

Description

SANE is a package for using document scanners. sane-backends includes
scanner drivers, a command line frontend (scanimage), a network-scanning
daemon (saned) and SANE-API documentation.

These updated sane-backends packages provide fixes for the following bugs:

• installing sane-backends packages for multiple architectures on multilib

systems led to file conflicts between documentation files on the primary
and compatibility architectures. In these updated packages, the packages
install cleanly and without error.

All users of sane-backends are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolve these issues.
