Public bug reported:

The vidwhacker screensaver depends on the netpbm package, if not
installed it fails with a nondescriptive error "vidwhacker: 0-length
data".  Installing the netpbm package fixes the problem.

I think a dependency on the netpbm package should be added to the
xscreensaver-data-extra package.

This was tested on a fresh Dapper install as of 26-9-2006.
package versions:
ii  netpbm                                       10.0-10ubuntu1
ii  xscreensaver                              4.23-4ubuntu8
ii  xscreensaver-data                      4.23-4ubuntu8
ii  xscreensaver-data-extra             4.23-4ubuntu8
ii  xscreensaver-gl                          4.23-4ubuntu8      
ii  xscreensaver-gl-extra                 4.23-4ubuntu8
