    The second one should also point to ibsane-snapscan.so.1.0.4. Where is
    libsane-snapscan.so.1.0.4?

    Remove the libraries manually and reinstall from source. The
    configuration files won't be overwritten by this.

    rm -r /usr/local/lib/libsane* /usr/local/lib/sane /usr/lib/libsane* /usr/lib/sane

    Oops. May I ask again? Where is the link exactly (/usr/local/lib or
    /usr/local/lib/sane)? Could you please do a ls -l?
    I don't understand why ldconfig would do such things. If the link is
    in /usr/local/lib/sane/ then /etc/ld.so.conf contains
    "/usr/local/lib/sane".

    > libsane.so.1 -> libsane-dll.so.1.0.4 is how it is linked at present.

    On my system this isn't a link:

    ls -l /usr/local/lib/libsane*
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 162912 Mai 12 12:49 /usr/local/lib/libsane.a
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 664 Mai 12 12:49 /usr/local/lib/libsane.la
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 16 Mai 12 12:49 /usr/local/lib/libsane.so -> libsane.so.1.0.4
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 16 Mai 12 12:49 /usr/local/lib/libsane.so.1 -> libsane.so.1.0.4
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 81965 Mai 12 12:49 /usr/local/lib/libsane.so.1.0.4

    /usr/local/lib/sane doesn't contain any libsane.* (and shouldn't).

    Happy scanning!
