I used a workaround for having my Canon Lide 50 work in Karmic, following Cosmin suggestions reported in bug #485551.

The complete downgrade involving BOTH xsane and libsane allowed the scanner to work again, BUT lead to unclean exit in xsane. So I also removed xsane and installed FLEGITA, leaving libsane downgraded to 1.0.19.

Now the scanner seems to work well. I can also use gscan2pdf, but had to change preferences/frontend to libsane-perl.

I think this could do until the libsane 1.0.20 and xsane problem is fixed.
