Hallo!

I installed the RPM package "iscan-plugin", which is available on 
Packman (version 2.30.4) on the latest openSuse Tumbleweed.

I think there is an issue with this package, because I could not make my 
Epson Perfection V200 scanner work using this package despite the fact 
that the package features the necessary plugin.

I assume the problem is the missing postinstall script which registers 
the plugins with the iscan-registry. See here for an example: 
jstrebel at linux:~> rpm -qp --scripts 
  "/home/jstrebel/software/iscan-gt-f670-bundle-2.30.4.x64.rpm/plugins/iscan-plugin-gt-f670-2.1.3-1.x86_64.rpm" 
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): iscan-registry --add interpreter 
usb 0x04b8 0x012e \    /usr/lib64/iscan/libesint7A \ 
    /usr/share/iscan/esfw7A.bin preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): 
iscan-registry --remove interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x012e \ 
    /usr/lib64/iscan/libesint7A \    /usr/share/iscan/esfw7A.bin 
postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): rmdir /usr/share/iscan 2> 
/dev/null || true rmdir /usr/lib64/iscan  2> /dev/null || truePlease add 
the scripts to the iscan packages; otherwise, scanners in need of 
plugins or firmware simply won't work.

Regards
