Ralph, thank you so much for your help with this. I do greatly
appreciate your taking the time to respond with the excellent
advice! I did not know that the openSUSE repo should be disabled
and that the SANE stable is in the sane-git repository and that
bleeding edge SANE is in the sane-release repository. <br>
<br>
I did what you suggested above and decided to enable the sane-git
repository. I updated the desktop with "sudo apt-get update
&& sudo apt-get upgrade in the terminal and viola no
packages held back or dependency issues anymore either. :)<br>

That's great! Sometimes it helps just to take a step back.<br>

I please ask what you may recomend with enabling of the openSUSE
PPA for sane airscan?<br>

I just went through the instructions here:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Apzz&package=sane-airscan">https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Apzz&package=sane-airscan</a><br>
<br>
...on my Linux Mint 20 and it works, for the instructions for Ubuntu
20.04 (Focal) which Mint 20 is based upon.<br>
<br>
I suspect that you tried this once before. Perhaps there was some
aspect of your system that was not quite right that caused it to
fail.<br>
Although it is built on openSUSE, it is a (non PPA) repo for Ubuntu.<br>
Anyway, let's give it a try again. It seemed to work for me.<br>
<br>
<pre>echo 'deb <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pzz/xUbuntu_20.04/">http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pzz/xUbuntu_20.04/</a> /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:pzz.list
curl -fsSL <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:pzz/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key">https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:pzz/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key</a> | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_pzz.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install sane-airscan
Cheers,
Ralph
