| Where are you getting the iscan packages from? Are they specifically built for your distribution? You can end up with a lot of conflicts and broken packages if not, so be careful with package downloads. Is there functionality missing from the sane and other scanner-related packages included in your distribution (first and foremost, do they support your scanner)? Just some directions to start with.

Does your distro include a package manager that resolves dependencies such as apt, YUM of YaST? If so, that simplifies things.
Even if you don't, the errors are telling you what's wrong.
The first package you're trying to install is inappropriate (I'm guessing too new) for two other things associates with the base SANE package. The second package you're trying to install is dependent on the first.
Of course, there's always the compile from source option. |

Looks like that's for a marginally-supported multifunction: »www.linuxprinting.org/show_print···s_CX8400
I don't have iscan in Mandriva; looks like you're running pclos, which derives from Mandriva, mostly. It's a proprietary package and Suse has some rpms, also: »rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/searc···=Search+...
You might try building from a Suse source rpm or using a Suse binary, in case they package files the same way as Mandriva/pclos.
You could try backing up those files, if you want, and replacing them with the proprietary package files, especially since you probably don't have much to lose.
That's from my sane-backends. You can open the iscan-2.10.0-1.c2.i386.rpm in mc (midnight commander), drill down in CONTENTS.cpio to /usr/share/locale/... to see the file size of the conflicts. I copied it out and:
The one under en@quot/ is the same size, one byte different from the one on my disk.
rpm -i --replacefiles
I think I would try that. It's your call. |

One thing I noticed there was that you were trying to simultaneously install the OSS sane driver as well as the proprietary epkowa driver.
AFAIK those two packages are mutually exclusive. Either install one or the other but not both on the same machine...
[EDIT] Fixed totally screwed up advice.
It's SANE that's incompatible with epkowa and iscan.
Either run SANE and xsane and kooka or run epkowa with iscan.
You can't get both backends to co-exist on the same machine for the same scanner.
