I tried to install sane-backends, but I got this response: sudo aptitude install sane-backends [sudo] password for kwright: Couldn't find any package matching "sane-backends", but there are 2 packages which contain "sane-backends" in their description: scanbd scanbd:i386 Unable to apply some actions, aborting sudo aptitude install scanbd scanbd is already installed at the requested version (1.4.4-1build2) scanbd is already installed at the requested version (1.4.4-1build2) No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
