Source: sane-backends
Version: 1.0.30-1~experimental2
Severity: serious
Hello, I tried to upgrade from the old sane-backends to the new one, and
libsane in some condition
was not removed, and sane-utils were removed as result.
I don't know how and why, but adding back libsane as transitional package
helped in doing the upgrade in a smooth
way.

+Description: API library for scanners [transitional package]
+ SANE stands for "Scanner Access Now Easy" and is an application
+ programming interface (API) that provides standardized access to any
+ raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner, hand-held scanner,
+ video- and still-cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.). The SANE standard is
+ free and its discussion and development are open to everybody. The
+ current source code is written to support several operating systems,
+ including GNU/Linux, OS/2, Win32 and various Unices and is available
+ under the GNU General Public License (commercial applications and
+ backends are welcome, too, however).
+ .
+ This package is here to ensure smooth upgrades. It can be removed when
+ you see fit.
thanks for considering it!
Gianfranco
