Sorry, I could not recall exactly.  I have used this PC for some times

# rpm -e sane-backends sane-frontends xsane sane-backends-devel
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
         sane-backends is needed by libkscan-3.0.0-5
         sane-backends is needed by kooka-3.0.0-5
         libsane.so.1   is needed by libkscan-3.0.0-5

         libsane.so.1   is needed by wine-20020327-1

I was not allowed to remove those packages in group

Then I tried to remove them separately;

# rpm -e sane-backends
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
         sane-backends is needed by libkscan-3.0.0-5
         sane-backends is needed by kooka-3.0.0-5
         sane-backends = 1.0.7 is needed by sane-frontends-1.0.7-2
         sane-backends = 1.0.7 is needed by sane-backends-devel-1.0.7-6
         libsane.so.1   is needed by libkscan-3.0.0-5
         libsane.so.1   is needed by kooka-3.0.0-5

         libsane.so.1   is needed by xsane-0.84-2
         libsane.so.1   is needed by wine-20020327-1

I was not allowed to remove this package

# rpm -e sane-frontends
OK

# rpm -e xsane
OK

# rpm -e sane-backends-devel
OK

# rpm -qa | grep sane
sane-backends-1.0.7-6


"sane-backends-1.0.7-6" is still there

Kindly advise how to proceed.  Thanks in advance.
