I noticed that Fedora is removing "ppmtompeg". So I guess this is the
"solution" to the license problem.

Thanks to whoever did the fix.
But can we please have a bit more (i.e. any at all) communication in the
future? There is nary a word from any dev in this bug report about what
the problem was or how it was resolved, or even what was done in the
"fix".

Note previous comment #12 no longer works in 17.04, as Bryan's deb
depends on superseded packages such as libpng12 and libtiff4.
Building from source is a little tedious, but not hard:

Apparently, the way forward is to uninstall netpbm and install the deb package
from the official NetPBM site:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/netpbm/files/super_stable/
It works for me!

Ok, it's 2014; this bug has been here for 6 years.
I see http://netpbm.alioth.debian.org/ , but I don't know what it really
means.
If Ubuntu can't include it for license reasons, could someone post a DIY
for getting or making a fresh version?
Thanks

Dan, good point about Fedora 14 being happy. As for the Ubuntu package,
Andreas Barth is given as the maintainer;

maintainer is too though AFAICS. It's a real shame that a venerable
workhorse such as netpbm isn't in a better
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
The obscenely old netpbm tools are a showstopper for me to migrate my
fax/document management system to Ubuntu. Please bring this package up-
to-date with other Linux distributions!

I was surprised and disappointed to find that the Ubuntu netpbm package
doesn't include the "pamscale" program, which has existed since 2004.

This is indeed annoying. I need pamtodjvurle, will probably compile from

Debian has the same outdated netpbm as well.

I used pgmtopbm(1) on 9.10 only to find users on other distributions had

pamditherbw(1) is its replacement. Ubuntu's netpbm doesn't have
pamditherbw; it's too old and crufty. Debian/Ubuntu have forked

I just stumbled in here googling for a solution to my problem, which is
that this really, really old netpbm coming with my Ubuntu 9.10 has a

Guess I can compile and install from the sourceforge tarball, but it
would be nice if something was available through the

Confirmed, netpbm 10.0 (as current Ubuntu) is dated 2002.
Is Debian providing some kind of patched version of it own here?
