Same here,on Mga4 64-bits. Moreprecisely, drakscanner installs simple-scan and task-scanning but nothing else.
After that if one closes draksanner and one reopens it, the message saying that SANE packages need to be installed reappear.

CC: (none) => olivier.delaune

and if you install xsane ?

Keywords: (none) => Junior_job
Summary: drakscanner can't install SANE packages => drakscanner can't install SANE packages (xsane missing in task-scanning)
Source RPM: (none) => task-scanning

If I install the xsane package manually it works.

But it should be installed by MCC, since it was he who proposed.

is was removed but code wasn't updated

I fixed this by adding Requires: xsane to this package. It doesn't hurt (we still have simple-scan as a requires and they can coexist.And Gimp likes it too.
The following pacakges are not in updates_testing:
task-scanning-2011.0-5.1.mga4.src.rpm
task-scanning-2011.0-5.1.mga4.noarch.rpm

Created attachment 5089 [details]
proper fix

Adding this require wasn't the proper fix.

Droping the dialog is the right fix.
(we only need sane-find-scanner which is already pulled)

are you going to fix this?

Wanting to test this, I am unclear whether it is ready for testing.
Should it be greyed on the madb list for the moment?

It worked for me.
If more people test this manually, I'll then commit it in git
& do a proper release (& revert your change)

Why not commit it and submit to updates_testing?

Why cannot I wait for at least one person to confirm it's OK?

In VirtualBox, M4, KDE, 32-bit & 64-bit Live-DVD

Package(s) under test:
drakscanner

Given that what is under test here is the fact that the
package drakscanner repeatedly installs "SANE packages"
not any functional problems. Using the M4 Live-DVD
packages I removed the local repo on the disk and used
my local repo. I then confirmed that launching drakscanner
from a terminal repeatedly requests to install the
SANE packages. If I then install xsane then launch
drakscanner from a terminal the request to install
SANE does not occur and drakscanner launches properly.
If I then remove xsane then relaunch drakscanner
from a terminal it reverts back to repeatedly
requesting a SANE install. This process is true
for both the 32-bit and 64-bit Live-DVD's.

Test platform:
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 LGA 1155 MoBo
GIGABYTE GV-N440D3-1GI Nvidia GeForce GT 440 (Fermi) 1GB

hi,

Real hardware Mageia 4 x86_64

before :
========
#drakscanner

ask every time to install SANE

After update/testing task-scnanning 2011.0-5.1.mga4 :
Ask to install dependency xsane-0.998-5.mga4.x86_64

After install no problem with command :
=======================================

Hi,

In VB Magiea 4 i586 is same.

Whiteboard: mga4-64-ok => mga4-64-ok mga4-32-ok

Thanks for testing the update guys. I think what need is needed here though is to manually test the changes from Thierry's attachment in comment 6. I'll remove the OK's for now. It seems there is a package in updates_testing though, which I guess is Thomas's one with the altered requires?

Could you make it easier to check Thierry please, with some instructions?

Thankyou

Correct, what's in updates testing is my changes in the Requires.
Thomas

Thanks for confirming Thomas, perhaps you could test the patch Thierry is advocating so this can be moved forward. QA don't usually get involved at this stage but if it's a simple procedure we can do if required.

I will try the patch.

I patched drakxtools with TV's patch (must not be patched per spec file) and it resolves the bug.
But after pushing the patch, we will not have any gui-scanners installed and somebody new will have an awful time to do any scanning (it needs xsane, but there is no hint to install it). Yes, one could install task-scanning, but one needs to know the name first. libreoffice has it's own scanning interface, but what else needs xsane?
Removing xsane from task-scanning may help the reporter's grandmother to scan pictures using Simple-Scan, but the Gimp user will be out of luck, because he cannot scan.
I would suggest to use the patch, but put task-scanning as a Requires into drakscanner and include xsane as a Suggest in task-scanning

Assigning back to you for now Thomas.

Is this now dead or for whom is TV waiting?

This is getting old very quick. Assigning it Thierry Vignaud
since he made the fix but didn't commit and submit it.

Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't 
able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and 
change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, 
select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release.
Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
