    Hi Jonathan,

    it looks like you try to install a sane version where xscanimage is compiled with
    an other gimp version than you have installed.

    Try to find out what gimp version in needed (don`t ask me how, I don`t know the debian
    package manager) and install that gimp version

    Bye
