Wilf Hull, the key to your problem lies in this error message: "E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list"
It seems that your system defines no source locations to download from. As a result, the source code for the xsane application could not be fetched and built. Removing the old xsane was successful, as you noticed. I do not know Mint8. On my system the "sources.list" file is in /etc/apt. I suggest you check that file. -- Unable to select scan area in preview window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370818 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for xsane. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
