It now depends on libsane, Leif, Thanks for your update to this bug report. This is actually a release critical issue with hplip/2.8.6.b-3 in that it isn't linked with libsane. The missing link breaks scanning for all users of hplip. A core piece of functionality for hplip. The upload of hplip/2.8.6.b-4 fixes this and hplip now correctly links with libsane and thus allows users of hplip to perform scanning as advertised. debian-release. Could you consider this an unfreeze request for hplip/2.8.6.b-4 as linking against libsane is critical for the correct functioning of hplip. Mark > which means I get 14 MB of unnecessary packages. Unfortunately the way hplip is packaged upstream it isn't trivial to separate the scanning from the printing functionality. It maybe possible, by moving /usr/lib/python-support/hplip/python2.5/scanext.so to it's own package, but I'm certainly not going to attempt this so deep into the lenny freeze. At one point the hpijs package was arranged for those with a printing only requirement and hplip was aligned for both printing/ scanning. But this isn't possible at present (See Bug #454117) > libsane is 10 MB.

However this still does mean you need to keep the libsane libs in the current package configuration. Thanks, Mark
