[sane-devel] "journalctl -b" command reveals inproper libsane permissions and an invalid key.

[pj.world at gmx.com]

This advice has helped alot to clear up the issue. I was able to use
chmod to clear up the permission rights.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  603 Apr 16 02:48
60-brother-brscan4-libsane-type1.rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  760 Apr 16 02:49 60-brother-libsane-type1-inst.rules

I then edited both of the following files:
60-brother-brscan4-libsane-type1.rules
60-brother-libsane-type1-inst.rules

I commented out the following entry in each file by adding #: ->
"#SYSFS{idVendor}=="04f9", GOTO="brother_mfp_udev_2"
When I executed command: -> "sudo udevadm control --reload-rules &&
udevadm trigger" it did not seem to reload udev rules so I did reboot.

Now "journalctl -b" does not show problems with libsane or brscan4
permissions or SYSFS key.

Thanks for your excellent assistance.

As for the execute bit (first one)
usually a 'sudo chmod -x <filepath> should do solve that warning.

The others are as I understand, be ignored.

But you should inform the related package maintainers responsible for
these files or send a message to the company support (brother/ HP) to
inform them.

Sane-devel is, I don't think, not responsible for these files, correct
me if I'm wrong.
