Hi Rickard,

Thank you for your information.

in Ubuntu 11.10 distro, OS team removed soft link for /usr/lib-->/usr/lib64. Hence sane is failing to load the required library files and not detecting any scanner.
before Ubuntu 11.10 (i.e. 11.04 and 10.10 etc) versions, used to have soft link for lib64 and lib. (i.e. /usr/lib-->/usr/lib64). Here used to work properly.
Ubuntu OS team has to look into this issue.

I think, you can go ahead with your work around.

Please let us know if you need more information.

Thanks & regards,
Amarnath
