I have installed Ubuntu 11.04, 64 bit and now I am trying to install/configure MFC-7420 scanner part (printer works fine). I tried to follow the steps listed at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-590793.html, but I don't have /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules file to edit and can not continue with the remaining steps of the guide.

I also tried to follow the steps provided by the Brother Solution Center http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1a.html. I have downloaded brscan2 64 bit and installed without error but when I tried to install the brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.amd64.deb using >sudo dpkg -i --force-all brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.amd64.deb I get the following error:

Which dependencies am I missing? or What am I doing wrong?
