Ubuntu's netpbm is now old enough to drive, so this is unlikely to be fixed.
See bug 270479 and Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=380172 for tedious details ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #380172 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=380172 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to netpbm-free in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1623639 Title: netpbm: "anytopnm" doesn't recognize some file types Status in netpbm-free package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: /usr/bin/anytopnm uses the output of "file" to recognize the image format of the input file. Apparently the output of "file" has changed, and therefore it is no longer correctly recognized by anytopnm. Example: $ file /tmp/x.ppm /tmp/x.ppm: Netpbm image data, size = 5100 x 6600, rawbits, pixmap However, /usr/bin/anytopnm (line 64) looks for the strings *PBM* | *PGM* | *PPM* ) For example: $ cat /tmp/x.ppm | anytopnm /usr/bin/anytopnm: unknown file type: Netpbm image data, size = 5100 x 6600, rawbits, pixmap Suggested fix: update /usr/bin/anytopnm to recognize the string "Netpbm" in addition to PBM, PGM, PPM.
