    Hi Henning & other friends,
    you were right! I found duplicated files in different directories of the

    likes of libsane.so.x (where x is whatevere figure you like).
    Through ldd I checked what the right libraries were and copied the very
    last
    version of each library in the right directories.
    Now both xsane and xscanimage works properly and my scanner answers
    smoothly
    to my requests! Great!
    BUT now the problem is with the Gimp.
    I've tried to download gimp1.1 through dselect (the standard (great!!)
    package manager under debian) and it says that "gimp conflicts with sane
    and
    xsane" ???.
    What does it mean? I can't make head or tail of it above of because at
    the
    very beginning of this story I had downloaded a sane-gimp package which
    was
    supposted to give me support for the scanner under gimp 1.1 through
    xscanimage. Unfortunately, as you know, the sane frontends and backends
    were
    obsolete (1.0.1) with respect to my epson perfection 1240 usb
    scanner........
    Could yoy clarify the above mentioned point to me?
    By the way, I was thinking of a solution of this kind:
    I could delete everything I've done, install the sane-gimp package and
    finally compile the new-brand backends only. Do you think that this
    could
    work?
