I used synaptic for Trusty and it's working.

You can use an alternative more complex procedure to get the updates
from my ppa:

(1) search for installed SANE packages:
$ dpkg -l *sane*

(2) purge all SANE packages with the version '1.0.26[-+]ppa{date}
*without* removing dependent packages:
$ sudo dpkg --force-all -P libsane libsane-common sane-utils [other
installed packages]

(3) reinstall SANE:
$ apt-get -f install

(4) reinstall all other removed packages, e.g.:
$ sudo apt-get install libsane-dev

This is correct. SANE 1.0.26 isn't released yet.
Inspired from your comment I renamed the version in my ppa to
'1.0.26~pre{date}'. This makes it more transparent that this is a
pre-release.

Then you'll get the next update after we started the development of SANE
version 1.0.27, then AKA version 1.0.27~pre{date} from my ppa repository

Many thanks for your report.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Rolf
