Hello Henning, you are quite right. rpm -qi sane-frontends results in
the following:

[graeme@barney rpm]$ rpm -qi sane-frontends

Summary     : Scanner access software.
Description :
Scanner Access Now Easy (SANE) is a universal scanner interface. The
SANE application programming interface (API) provides standardized
access to any raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner,
hand-held scanner, video and still cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.). If
they are using SANE, developers can write image-processing
applications without having to think about the peculiarities of
individual devices. SANE also makes it possible to write a device
driver once, which can then be used by any SANE-compliant
application. SANE currently includes drivers for some Epson SCSI
scanners, HP ScanJet SCSI scanners, Microtek SCSI scanners, Mustek
SCSI flatbed scanners, PINT devices, most UMAX SCSI scanners,
Connectix QuickCam, and other SANE devices via network. Note that this
package does not enable network scanning by default. If you wish to
enable network scanning, read the saned(1) manpage. If you would like
to develop SANE modules, you should also install the
sane-backends-devel package.

I was expecting that it would all be under 'sane'. My apologies for
mis-leading you.

Regards,

Graeme.
