[sane-devel] Need sane docs

[Yury Tarasievich]

Never used ethernet accessible scanners, but a 
good practice on using sane from sources is to 
be sure you don't have the previous versions' 
'leftovers' (configs, `rules.d` files, ...) in 
your installation.

I'd say your log hints at saned already being 
run on your system with some already existing 
(or default) configs.

What does `netstat -t -na` say?
