Hi all, as a workaround on ubuntu artful I got rolled back to libsane libsane-common from zesty, that is 1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu4, and xsane xsane-common 0999.3ubuntu2, locked to those releases; my Epson Perfection 4490 scanner (third party epkowa backend) would only run as root; added the lines
# Epson Perfection 4490
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0119", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
to the file /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules right after the line
LABEL="libsane_usb_rules_begin"
and the scanner is now working as it always did.
Would be great if this libsane1 thing would be fixed though.
