Package: netpbm
Version: 2:10.0-12.2+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
When invoked without a filename argument, pnmquant fails.
Upon inspection, this is because pnmquant is a perl script
that performs the two-pass pnmcolormap pnmremap sequence,
and it does not bother to save stdin for the second pass.
A patch is attached. Alternatively, one could simply change
the documentation to indicate that pnmquant must receive a
filename argument.
(BTW, I'm not sure whether the "this code is in the public
domain" license of pnmquant is OK, but I'm too lazy to file
a separate bug report on this.)
