This is because the RPM system checks dependencies between installed components. Because you installed sane-backends and sane-backends from sources instead of from RPM, the sane packages are not in the RPM database and RPM misses a dependency. You may be able to resolve this by running rpm from the shell and add either the '--force' or '--nodeps' options, something like rpm -ivh xsane-0.82-3.1.i386.rpm --force (or rpm -ivh xsane-0.82-3.1.i386.rpm --nodeps, not quite sure) BTW, the latest version of xsane is 0.86 Bertrik
