Sorry for my ignorance, is there a separate repo I need to add for the openSUSE buildservice? When I go to webpin and look for xsane, the only place where I see 0.997 is in the GNOME factory repo, and I am afraid to add that one since I have been burned in the past by doing updates from there.
Thanks again for your help btw.

believe if I were in your shoes and was shy of "Factory" I would install the default from suse-oss, 0.995, and see if it solved my problems. You can always go back.
or just download the single rpm from GNOME:/Factory and install it from the cl: rpm -i --oldpackage /<file>/<location>/xsane-0.995....rpm
Thanks Patrick. I could not find a way to lock down a package to a specific repo in either smart or zypper. I download the src RPM for xsane from Packman and built it myself, and it did end up with TIFF support. I think I will go with that route for now. This way my update scripts will function the way they do now, and at worst I will have to re-make xsane from src rpm if and when Packman updates it without TIFF support again.
