xsane library mismatch TC 10

[netsocket]

net-snmp.tcz provides /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so.35, but:

xsane: error while loading shared libraries: libnetsnmp.so.30: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libsane and sane-backends were recently updated for the change to net-snmp - if you update them, xsane should work.

Just out of curiosity, what is the need for xsane to have snmp support?

[netsocket]

Not an xsane expert, but apparently xsane uses snmp for remote management, as the acronym implies. There was a cups backend using snmp which has been, I gather, deprecated.
Try:
snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 ip.address.of.printer, and you'll find buried in the MIB interesting things about the printer.

I've only ever used xsane interactively, and usually as a gimp plugin, with a local scanner, using Slackware. So it's for querying network scanners? I vaguely remember this thread http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,19482.0.html identifying sane as the lone outlier for net-snmp, but we didn't get a lot of input then.

As far as I know net-snmp is required for network scanners..
