Description:

The lib32-sane package is missing from the multilib repository.

Wine needs it for 32-bit Windows applications that use scanners. So its absence from the multilib repository makes it harder to get these Windows applications to run correctly.

A lib32-sane package is present in an AUR repository (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-sane/) but this creates unnecessary friction and adding it from such a source is hard to automate.

Additional info:
* This is true as of 1.0.32-3
This task depends upon
