Xsane is linked to libtiff.so.3 currently libtiff.tcz has libtiff.so.5.2.0 libtiff.so.5 libtiff.so
Currently I am just adding a symlink from libtiff.so -> libtiff.so.3 even though it is version 5.2 allowing xsane to startup.
It appears that it was last updated in 2009?
I don't know how well the libtiff missmatch will work though, I use png format for my scans
Since I have an elderly epson parallel port scanner I currently must run it as root or it fails to access epson:0x378 is there some way to make runnable as user tc?
