--- Begin Message ---Version: 4.0.0~beta6-1 The bug you've reported in printing values of signed bytes and shorts has been fixed upstream already in the 4.0 branch. I have no estimate as to when 4.0 will appear in debian, but it will most likely be in the release after squeeze. So for now, I'm afraid the bug will persist in the default version of libtiff for the time being. However, if you want a working tiffdump, you can always install the libtiff-tools package from experimental. It can peacefully coexist with the remaining libtiff from older releases. I haven't specific tested with lenny, but I believe it should work fine since none of its dependency libraries have had incompatible changes since then. Thanks for your minimal example tiff file consisting of just a header. I hand-converted it to big-endian to make sure the bug wasn't specific to the endian-ness of the file. Both little and big endian break with the 3.x series and work with the 4.x series of tiffdump. There have been major changes, so backporting is not really practical. -- Jay Berkenbilt <[email protected]>
