Package: hyperlatex
Version: 2.8b-2
Severity: normal

/usr/bin/ps2image (used to produce bitmap files from "image" or "gif"
environments when hyperlatex is called with the "-image" option) uses
"pnmtogif" to generate GIFs (for "gif" environments, or when
"\imagetype{gif}" is declared). However, a "pnmtogif" command is not
provided by the "netpbm" package, on which hyperlatex depends (nor by
any other sarge package, as far as I can see). This causes an

  /usr/bin/ps2image: line 52: pnmtogif: command not found

error messages for every GIF to be generated during execution of the
generated ".makeimage" script, and all produced ".gif" files are empty.

Possible solution: using /usr/bin/ppmtogif (provided by netpbm) instead
of pnmtogif seems to work...
