You could set up a virtual machine and perform a clean installation trying to reproduce the issues with the steps you have taken. Or, you can uninstall all SANE packages, and re-install them again and see if the problem shows up again. In any case, there should be something reproducible. >> It's definitely a bug when it occurs during a fresh installation and >> might be considered a bug if it happens for certain dist-upgrades. >> Both don't seem to be the case. > > it is a bug even if it occurs in a weird upgrade path, which is > near-to-impossibile to reproduce, but it can be decided to be > "ignored" that given the time required to have a clue about how to > reproduce it. No. If you mess around with your installation resulting in the packages failing to upgrade or behaving unexpectedly as a result, you can't file a bug and blame the authors or maintainers of the software. It's simply impossible to account for all upgrade paths or local modifications of a package, so it can't be considered a bug. It's a bug when a clean installation fails or when a dist-upgrade from the previous stable release isn't working. >> If you are able to reliably reproduce the problem, please feel free >> to re-open this bug report. > > if you know a way to "reliably reproduce" the upgrade path that > generated the problem, please tell. Well, like stated above. Try a fresh installation or a dist-upgrade from oldstable to stable or stable to unstable. If either of that fails, I'm happy to re-open this bug report.
