Description Thorsten Leemhuis 2008-04-24 15:50:23 UTC
Description of problem:
A fresh /etc/sane.d/dll.conf in rawhide contains this comment:

---
#
# The following backends are not included in the sane-backends distribution
# If you want to use them, download them from their webpages and read their
# documentation 
#
# HP OfficeJet backend homepage: http://hpoj.sf.net/
# Uncomment the following line if hpoj is installed:
#hpoj
---
This is misleading, as hpoj is obsolete these days. libsane-hpaio is the successor.

The comment thus should be removed. Further: The file IMHO should contain a line
"hpaio" instead; that way this scriptlet
---
if [ -f /etc/sane.d/dll.conf ] && \
   ! grep ^hpaio /etc/sane.d/dll.conf >/dev/null 2>/dev/null ; then \
        echo hpaio >> /etc/sane.d/dll.conf; \
fi
---
can be removed from the libsane-hpaio package as modification like this can lead
to unnecessary rpmnew/rpmsave files which users then need to handle manually

Version:
sane-backends-1.0.19-10.fc9.x86_64

Comment 2 Thorsten Leemhuis 2008-11-15 08:48:01 UTC
still there in rawhide

Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2008-11-17 17:28:33 UTC
Tim: Do you know if adding a "hpaio" line as described in comment #0 is safe, even if the libsane-hpaio package isn't installed?

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2008-11-18 12:47:21 UTC
I don't know, but it just depends on how the SANE dll backend handles it.  Probably it's fine.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 02:13:55 UTC
