Package: xsane
Version: 0.999-4
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
Hello,
the removal of sane-config from sane-backends in version 1.0.25-3 broke
compilation of xsane:
checking for sane-config... no
checking for SANE - version >= 1.0.0... no
*** The sane-config script installed by SANE could not be found
*** If SANE was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the SANE_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to sane-config.
Find attached a minimal seems-to-work-for-me patch.
