Freeze exception: sane-backends 1.0.19-17

[Julien BLACHE <jblache@debian.org>]

Hi,

sane-backends 1.0.19-16 fixes an important bug in the way saned drops
privileges in standalone mode (similar to the iaxmodem bug a few days
ago). Improper ordering of the seteuid() and setegid() calls meant
saned kept running as group root (or whatever group it was started
under); moreover the supplemental group list was not set according to
the uid to use, which would lead to permission issues later on.

sane-backends 1.0.19-17 fixes some trivial bugs in saned again, which
would prevent a successful startup in standalone mode under some
conditions. It also fixes a non-compliance in scanimage's usage of the
SANE API & standard which breaks with the net backend.


Please unblock sane-backends 1.0.19-17.


sane-backends (1.0.19-17) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/33_scanimage_options_fix.dpatch:
    + Added; get the option descriptor for option 0 before getting the value
      for option 0. This is a standard-compliance fix needed for proper
      operation with the net backend.
  * debian/patches/30_new_saned.dpatch:
    + Updated; fix initialization of runas_{g,u}id and ngroups, preventing
      failures later on in some cases (saned -a without username).
