Bug#973577: scanbd: does nothing, scanner works normally

[Francesco Potortì <Potorti@isti.cnr.it>]

Package: scanbd
Version: 1.5.1-6
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: none, Francesco Potortì <Potorti@isti.cnr.it>

The scanbd service is running, the scanbd process is there, but it does
not get hold of the scanner and programs access the scanner regularly
through libusb rather than through the net.

# pidof scanbd && SANE_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/sane.d scanimage -L

# service scanbd stop

# pidof scanbd && echo "scanbd is still running and shouldn't. Please retry." ; SANE_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/scanbd scanimage -L
