I used pgmtopbm(1) on 9.10 only to find users on other distributions had problems. Turns out later netpbms deprecate pgmtopbm, saying pamditherbw(1) is its replacement. Ubuntu's netpbm doesn't have pamditherbw; it's too old and crufty. Debian/Ubuntu have forked netpbm, with all the problems that creates. If there are licensing issues then can we have a netpbm-nonfree for those of us that want to co-exist with the other distros?
netpbm is a venerable workhorse. It's a shame that Ubuntu effectively doesn't have it. -- Debian/Ubuntu netpbm is many years out-of-date with upstream https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270479 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
