Doubts about symbolic link Printer Brother all-in-one

Question

I have a doubt and confusion regarding symlinks on settings of "Brother MFC-660CN printer"

I installed the drivers through an installation file of the website Brother

The file is "linux-1.0-installer-brfax"

Installed everything right without errors ...

But in the /var/log/sys.log or on boot appear this:

FX6300 udevd[412]: unknown key 'SYSFS{idVendor}' in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-brother-libsane-type1.rules:17
FX6300 udevd[412]: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.d/40-brother-libsane-type1.rules:17'

In the file /etc/udev/rules.d/40-brother-libsane-type1.rules i have this:

In the file /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules:

# Kernel < 2.6.22 jumps here
LABEL="libsane_usb_rules_begin"

# Brother scanners
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01b0", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

# The following rule will disable USB autosuspend for the device
ENV{libsane_matched}=="yes", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'if test -e /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/control; then echo on > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/control; elif test -e /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/level; then echo on > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/level; fi'"

LABEL="libsane_usb_rules_end"

When i install anything from terminal i have this error too:

/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/libbrcolm2.so.1 is not a symbolic link
/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/libbrscandec2.so.1 is not a symbolic link

When i use the ls -l command i have this:

$ ls -l /usr/lib/libbrscandec2.so
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37064 Nov 23 18:21 /usr/lib/libbrscandec2.so

   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15072 Dez  2  2009 /usr/lib64/libbrcolm2.so.1.0.1

I do not know if is the correct way that i think but ..

In the folder:

/usr/lib64/

The symbolic link is from:

libbrscandec2.so to libbrscandec2.so.1 and ends in libbrscandec2.so.1.0.0 ?

The same for libbcolm2.so ?

From what I've understood from other posts the symbolic link are to be between the folders:

/usr/lib/ and /usr/lib64/

Or am i thinking in the wrong way? What's wrong here?

I appreciate any help on this..

Thanks.

Solved my problem...

I make a comment /etc/udev/rules.d/40-brother-libsane-type1.rules:

#SYSFS{idVendor}=="04f9", GOTO="brother_mfp_udev_2"  <<<<< here
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", GOTO="brother_mfp_udev_2"
GOTO="brother_mfp_end" LABEL="brother_mfp_udev_2"

Maybe a conflit between SYSFS{idVendor} and ATTRS{idVendor} since they are the same "04f9" ?? Just guessing...

And simlink in the /etc/lib/

libbrscandec2.so > libbrscandec2.so.1 > libbrscandec2.so.1.0.0

And to libbcolm2.so also like libbrscanedc2.so

The erros don't appear anymore...

Works really well...

I started getting the same ldconfig symlink errors after upgrading to saucy. You can manually edit the symlinks as lc1975 did, or just remove and reinstall the brscan2 package (available here).

Both libbrscandec2 and libbrcolm2 are provided by the brscan2 deb from Brother, and they are symlinks in the package:
