Package: libsane Version: 1.0.15-9 Severity: important The /etc/hotplug.d/usb/libsane.hotplug script fails to set the ownership and permissions of my USB device node. (I have an Epson CX6400 connected by USB.) The problem is that the device node (for example, /proc/bus/usb/001/002) does not yet exist when the script issues the chown/chmod commands. I verified this by having the script do an "ls -l" into a temporary file just before the chown/chmod.
I don't know the exact reason for this. Maybe the machine is too slow or maybe the script is run before the kernel has had a chance to update /proc. In any case, inserting a "sleep 5" before the chown/chmod allowed the device node to appear and the script to succeed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages libsane depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgphoto2-2 2.1.5-6 gphoto2 digital camera library ii libgphoto2-port0 2.1.5-6 gphoto2 digital camera port librar ii libieee1284-3 0.2.10-1 cross-platform library for paralle ii libjpeg62 6b-10 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.10a-9.sarge.1 userspace USB programming library ii makedev 2.3.1-77 creates device files in /dev ii sane-utils 1.0.15-9 API library for scanners -- utilit -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
