I'm using RH8.0 which ships with older sane/xsane files.

I removed the sane*rpm and xsane*rpms but did not remove other RPMs that 
relied on them ( rpm -e --nodeps --force ) and then installed the newer 
sane/xsane stuff from source.

kdegraphics and so on complain about the removal of sane* because they 
rely on libsane.so. Re-installing sane from source satisfies that 
reliance.
