Hi SuSE people,
Recently did an upgrade with apt-get. I foolishly allowed Sane & ImageMagick to be uninstalled, thinking I would just reinstall them later. One of the upgrades was gimp--1.3.19-SuSE.ulb.1
When I try to reinstall Sane it fails because it is looking for libgimp-1.2.so.0 & libgimpui-1.2.so.0. Well, now I have libgimp-1.3.so.19 & .19.0.0 (same for libgimpui ) Sane is looking for older packages than I have installed.
What to do? Need to get that scanner working again. Would like to get ImageMagick going again also. Haven't investigated thoroughly but is probably the same problem.

I talked to james about this a few months ago. The version of sane and imagemagick are built upon(or against) the older version of gimp. James said it wasn't a priority, so I just left it alone.
Thanks for the replies Franklin, Richard,John, 999, I am kind of lazy so first I tried making links as was suggested. Didn't fool the installer. Didn't want to go searching and building the .src especially if it might not work. Also wasn't sure what that would do to the rpm database at the next upgrade. Soooo... I took the coward's way out, as Richard suggested, pinned Gimp, and did a downgraded "upgrade". Now sane has installed. Did the same thing for the libwmf that ImageMagick wanted. Don't know if it was just me or not but this last apt upgrade, done mainly to upgrade KDE to 3.1.4, was a killer. Some packages just "dissapeared" and I had to reinstall them. BTW one of those packages was Ark. Can't find it to reinstall it. Anyway, all is well again (I hope) in Linux-SuSEland. Thanks guys. Bob S.
