package libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/lib/udev/hwdb.d/20-sane.hwdb', which is different from other instances of package libsane1:i386 while trying to install Epson Perfection V300 photo driver and trying to fix broken packages with synaptics

[Dimitri Volpe]

was trying to install iscan-gt-f720-bundle-1.0.1.x86.deb to run my Epson Perfection V300 Photo scanner using the install.sh script ; got errors so tried to fix broken packages with synaptics which resolved some but was not able to install libsane1. Will run synaptics from time to time to see if you guys fixed the package. Thx
