I would guess that's because gimp-3.x and the xsane-gimp plugin don't play well together or, more optimistically, that it's somehow not actually needed anymore. But I don't use xsane and haven't done more than poke the package history quickly.
Well I do, and gimp no longer knows anything about xsane. Well, that

that.
I use Skanlite on both Fedora nd Ubuntu. You might give it a try.
(I also run the KDE spin, and I am not sure if Skanlite needs KDE).
Well, the end goal is just to be able to drop a scan directly into gimp. This used to work just fine. Simple. Straightforward. Just pick an option in Gimp's menu, and you get a scan showing right up. Yes, I am now just running xsane myself, scanning, saving, and opening in gimp.
