This only means that SuSE hasn't made current packages. Anyway,
you don't seem to use the sane-backends distribution but IScan/epkowa
so the sane version doesn't matter. So I'm surprised that SANE should
have any influence on yast behaviour.

So it's not related to sane-backends.

So there is also no problem with detection of that scanner.

As SANE seems to work, why do you want to fiddle with yast at all?
SANE doesn't need yast. If you still want to get yast detection
working, I guess SuSE support or mailing lists are better suited for
that as it's not really related to sane.

As I said in my last mail, your scanner is not in the list of
supported devices. However, when I grep the source code of the epson
backen, it is mentioned there. This can only be answered by the epson
backend maintainer, I guess.
