Or you could just have both installed if you have the room. I have gimp-1.2 for that exact same reason (sane required) and gimp-1.3 for my imaging. They both work fine side by side. -----Original Message----- From: jalal [mailto:the_jalal@fastmail.fm] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 4:51 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Updating GIMP On Tue 30 December 2003 18:32, Richard Bos wrote:

I've been having memory problems with my SuSE 8.2 version of Gimp ( v1.2.3) and wanted to upgrade it to the new 1.3. When I tried to run the upgrade with Synaptic it wanted to uninstall all the Scanner stuff (Sane, XSane, KdeScanner) in order to install Gimp 1.3
Anyone know if it is OK to install Gimp without the removing the scanner stuff? I need the scanner as well as Gimp.
[snipped output] As you can see libgimp-1.2.so.0 is not provided by gimp-1.3. Perhaps it is sufficient to create a link from libgimp-1.3.so.19 to libgimp-1.2.so.0. Besides that you may experiment with fake-provides to satisfy apt; http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/faq.html#q32
Hmm, thanks, but I think I'll give it a miss for now. I can live with memory problems as they are, and I need the scanner to work.
