Yup!  Seems mandriva decided to make iscan part of the SANE project
... and did a bad job at that (message catalogs for the frontend in
the sane-backends package???).

I'll be filing a bug report to get iscan removed from their packages.
If they insist on providing iscan, they should do so in a separate
package.

In the mean time, you can --force the install (at the risk of getting
more of these warnings when you try updating Mandriva's SANE
packages).

Hope this helps,
