Bug Description

I am trying to properly configure & troubleshoot my Artec e+ 48u scanneron Xubuntu 14.10 (amd64)

There seem to be several erros on the utopic man page at:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/utopic/man5/sane-artec_eplus48u.5.html

The page refers to libsane-common version 1.0.24-1.1ubuntu1_all

Synaptic says my version of libsane-common is 1.0.24-1.1ubuntu1. Note the missing "_all" at the end.

The man page says that after installing the package, I should find:

/usr/local/etc/sane.d/artec_eplus48u.conf
/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-artec_eplus48u.a
/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-artec_eplus48u.so

artec_eplus48u.conf is in the stated location.

I find neither libsane-artec_eplus48u.a nor libsane-artec_eplus48u.so at their stated location, nor anywhere else on my system.

Running Catfish as root, I find the following similarly, but not identically, named files in this completely different location:

directory: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/

files found:
libsane-artec_eplus48u.1a
libsane-artec_eplus48u.so.1
libsane-artec_eplus48u.so.1.0.24

confirmed for trusty and zesty as well. There's also more cruft in that file. The whole section about Kernel issues can be removed as the ubuntu packages depend on a more recent version of libusb.
