Bug Description
Since I have upgraded to Karmic I am not able to use XSane with my Canon Lide 50 scanner. XSane starts properly, but making it to start scanning pops up a window saying: "Failed to start scanner: Error during device I/O"
On XSane news page the developer says:
"If you experience any problems with XSane and sane-backends with a version number greater than 1.0.19 then this may be caused by an incompatible development of sane-backends. In this case it may be worth to try sane-backends-
libsane version in Jaunty was 1.0.19, but Karmic has 1.0.20. Replacing libsane with the 1.0.19 from Jaunty repository makes XSane work again, except that I have to force quit XSane as it stops responding when I try to close any windows.
I suggest revising the libsane vs XSane compatibility version in Karmic repository and/or including a different frontend that works with libsane 1.0.20 in Karmic repository.

I have the same scanner and can verify that the above is accurate.
