It doesn't really hurt to have both around since the path is hardcoded
into each copy of SANE so each copy will only see their own
configuration. I don't know RPM, but with Debian's dpkg, configuration
data is left lying around when you just remove a package, but it's
easy to delete it using dpkg at any time. If RPM doesn't register it
as an installed package, then you can safely remove the directory
/etc/sane.

In any case, if you want the PNM backend to work, you have to enable
it (remove the '#') in the relevant dll.conf.

Could you please, as a courtesy to other list members, snip your
posts? Getting the whole digest of the day is quite a burden on many
mailboxes (and users who have to read through them).
