In that case I don't understand too much many warnings about too old versions of softwares.... You can read these warnings on this list and on some others. I believe, but I seem to be wrong, that a new version is done to correct and enhance previous ones, not to make what was working no more working. > > 2.

Keep it calm and clear and you may get an answer. I put in my message all what I was aware of: even turning the log_error to "debug" in dev.conf file, for instance, did not give other information about my usb scanner. > > 3. This is not a bug reporting service. See bugzilla.redhat.com. Before reporting a bug, I want to know if it is really a bug, not something misconfigured. I sent on the list the error codes returned: what are these codes if you can't find their meaning somewhere (and not in the 300Mb man pages you refer to). > > 4.

Though it is difficult to accept that things that were working are no more working after an update. I use redhat/fedora since redhat 5 and it used to go better and better.... I am not sure that it is still the policy when I read here some messages about fc6 and now f7.... > > Bonne chance.
