[sane-devel] Epson 3170 in Kubuntu

[Adrian Jadic]

I sent the request for deb to avasys,
Yes you are right I just looked for libkscan as a package. I also have the 
libkscan.so
As for the url:
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=5751.0

In terms of libkscan and kooka: I have a feeling they are not maintained 
anymore. The person who was in charge (Klaas Freitag) does not seem to be 
supporting these products since the newest logs on the website are from 2004.

I guess I'll have to switch to another app until someone from KDE takes over 
this issue seriously.

Thank you for your help
