As the comments in the Debian bug report show, Fedora 14 is packaging netpbm-10.47.17, so presumably the license problems invoked by Debian aren't that bad.
The Debian maintainer has quite clearly decided to kill this package. He hasn't posted updates in the bug report for almost 4 years. Is there something we can do about inactive Debian maintainers? Alternatively, who's in charge of the Ubuntu package? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270479 Title: Debian/Ubuntu netpbm is many years out-of-date with upstream -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
