Error.
Depends on gimp >= 2.4.6 (not in the repo).

Should be rebuilt against 2.4.3 or 2.4.5.

It also seems like a big dependency for sane.
I know sane has a gimp plugin, but I wonder if it works fine without the gimp installed (even if it has been compiled with gimp support).
It that is the case, I guess the dependency should just be removed from slack-required.

I've been told the GIMP dependency is correct so this package stands as is.  There is a GIMP 2.4.7 package now in testing but it also has a dependency issue.  Once that gets resolved I'll announce the new GIMP package.

[caitlyn]

The new GIMP package is in place.  I'll be announcing it once the debate is over and my ferrets are done playing.  (I'll let you decide which of those two things is serious and which is comic relief.)  Please try to install this version of sane again.

Installs fine now.

And so does gimp-2.4.7.
Thank you, vector and caitlyn.
