Sane and Gimp - way round?

[Glyn Millington <glyn@mill29.fsnet.co.uk>]

I'm running a Potato system, but with those upgrades necessary in gtk to
run the Gimp 1.2 - which is gorgeous.

The good news is that I've acquired a scanner - the bad news is that when
I try to install the stable version of Sane 1.0.1-1999-10-21-12, I get
the message telling me that Sane conflicts with Gimp 1.1 and that Gimp
1,2 provides Gimp 1.1.

Is there a way around this?  I tried compiling sane against my own set-up
from deb-source and got the same result.  Or is there an alternative to
sane for the Gimp addict?

Thanks for your time
