Description of problem: sane-backends.i686 and xsane*.i686 packages should be available in the x86_64 repo. Currently, they are not, although sane-backends-lib.i686 and some others are available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce on 64-bit F22 install: 1. dnf list sane-backends 2. dnf list xsane* Actual results: Only the 64-bit packages are listed. The 32-bit pkgs are available in the 32-bit repo, but not in the 64-bit. http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Everything/i386/os/Packages/s/ has [ ] sane-backends-1.0.24-13.fc22.i686.rpm 2015-01-21 14:23 671K But http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/s/ only has .x86_64 version of this package, although it has other sane-backends .i686 packages. including [ ] sane-backends-devel-1.0.24-13.fc22.i686.rpm 2015-01-21 14:25 42K [ ] sane-backends-devel-1.0.24-13.fc22.x86_64.rpm 2015-01-21 14:23 42K [ ] sane-backends-doc-1.0.24-13.fc22.noarch.rpm 2015-01-21 14:22 278K [ ] sane-backends-drivers-cameras-1.0.24-13.fc22.i686.rpm 2015-01-21 14:24 50K [ ] sane-backends-drivers-cameras-1.0.24-13.fc22.x86_64.rpm 2015-01-21 14:24 50K [ ] sane-backends-drivers-scanners-1.0.24-13.fc22.i686.rpm 2015-01-21 14:24 2.2M [ ] sane-backends-drivers-scanners-1.0.24-13.fc22.x86_64.rpm 2015-01-21 14:21 2.3M [ ] sane-backends-libs-1.0.24-13.fc22.i686.rpm 2015-01-21 14:21 99K [ ] sane-backends-libs-1.0.24-13.fc22.x86_64.rpm 2015-01-21 14:24 99K Similarly, http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Everything/i386/os/Packages/x/ contains: [ ] xsane-0.999-17.fc22.i686.rpm 2015-01-06 02:35 547K [ ] xsane-common-0.999-17.fc22.i686.rpm 2015-01-03 16:34 1.2M [ ] xsane-gimp-0.999-17.fc22.i686.rpm 2015-01-06 02:30 248K But http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/x/ only has the .x86_64 versions. Expected results: x86_64 repo should contain all the above 32-bit pkgs. Additional info: Thought this was a dnf problem initially. Please see Bug 1251588 for more details. Should they be separate bugs filed for sane-backends and xsane?

Currently, they are not, although sane-backends-lib.i686 and > some others are available. No, it's quite intentional that sane-backends and xsane* are only available in 64bit versions. The sane-backends library and driver subpackages are available for 32bit as well to allow 32bit applications to use them. The sane-backends main package has files that are common to both architectures and therefore needs to exist only once on a system. XSane is an application and so only exists as a 64bit package.
If I understand your reason for closing, it is that provided the libraries etc are there for 32 bit, I should be able to use a 32-bit scanner driver with the 64-bit xsane and sane-backends. But this is not the case. I removed the 32-bit xsane and sane-backends from my workstation and replaced with the 64-bit packages. My scanner worked with the 32-bit packages installed, but with 64-bit I get from xsane the "No devices available" even though I can see it with sane-find-scanner. $ sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error found USB scanner (vendor=0x1083, product=0x162c) at libusb:002:004 could not open USB device 0x18e3/0x9102 at 002:003: Access denied (insufficient permissions) $ xsane popup window says: no devices available The scanner is a Canon ImageFormula P-150 and the 32-bit Linux driver is provided by Canon.

If so, how, as it doesn't work for me? If not, then shouldn't the 32-bit pkgs be in the repo? Thanks.
