libltdl3 not installable

[Thomas H. George]

I am trying to install iscan in Squeeze but it depends on libltdl3 which
is not installable. A search of the Debian package lists finds libltdl3
in Lenny and as a virtual package libltdl for Squeeze. I installed
libltdl and ran apt-get -f install which again reported libltdl3 not
installable and removed the partially installed package iscan.

Is there any way around this?

Note: After a day of unsuccessful attempts to find the cause of the
segfault when running xscan - see posts to the debian-user and
sane-devel lists - I have given up. I can run my Epson scanner from a
terminal with scanimage and open the resulting foo.pnm file with gimp
but without xscan or xscanimage gimp cannot use the scanner directly.

Mmm... upstream "iscan" package tagged for Ubuntu seems to be prepared to
deal with libdtl7, have you tried with that? :-?

YES! This worked. I still have some setup issues with gimp but I'll
work them out. The iscan package works perfectly.
