Thanks. If it means getting access to the new scanner, I will look at doing the compile. If the diffs are not too large from the current Ubuntu package, I might be able to unpack it, get a diff patch set, run them against the old files to update them, and then generate a new package with a name that will not get updated the next time they do a bug fix... something which is absolutely certain to happen at a worst case time. Lets chat about this a bit. It will be the weekend before I can put in substantial time, but I can get prepped ahead of time.
