Ok. You can forget the dependencies on "sane-frontends-1.0.7-2",
"sane-backends-devel-1.0.7-6" and "xsane-0.84-2", as you've removed
them already.

As for the others: The cleanest way to proceed is to uninstall them as
well, even though it's tedious. You can always reinstall them later.
So, remove "libkscan-3.0.0-5", "kooka-3.0.0-5" (I'd assume thhey
belong to KDE?) and "wine-20020327-1".

Make sure to write them down, in case you want to install them again
later. "libkscan" might break a dependency on "libkscan-devel", so
you'd need to uninstall that again.

Once you've removed those packages, try to remove sane-backends again,
then try to install the new one.

Cheerio,

Thomas
