[sane-devel] Re: Upgrade question

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Thomas,

RH7.3

Thanks for your response.

Sorry, I am equally surprized.  This is the same system I started to post

As USER

$ whereis sane
sane: /etc/sane.d /usr/lib/sane /usr/include/sane /usr/share/sane 
/usr/share/man/man7/sane.7.gz

$ rpm -qa | grep sane
sane-backends-1.0.7-6
sane-frontends-1.0.7-2
xsane-0.84-2
sane-backends-devel-1.0.7-6

I have no idea where did "sane-1.0.3" come from

I have following packages downloaded from ftp.redhat.com and kept them 
in /home/satimis/Download/Sane/i586/

sane-backends-1.0.11-1.i586.rpm
sane-backends-devel-1.0.11-1.i586.rpm
sane-frontends-1.0.10-1.i586.rpm
xsane-0.90-1.i586.rpm
xsane-gimp-0.90-1.i586.rpm

I started following test both as USER and ROOT with the same result

$ rpm -Uvh --test /home/satimis/Download/Sane/i586/*.rpm

Tried as USER
$ rpm -qa | grep sane-1.0.3
No response

$ locate sane-1.0.3
No response

What other commands I can test to find out where/how comes sane-1.0.3

TIA

B.Regards
Stephen
