netpbm:amd64/groovy 2:10.0-15.3build1 uptodate
netpbm:i386 not installed
terry@OptiPlex:~$ apt-show-versions netpbm-free

I installed libnetpbm11_10.90.00-ppa_amd64.deb followed by netpbm_10.90.00-
ppa_amd64.deb and it worked!

What's more the resulting image loaded on the Tiny-TV screen properly :-)

Tomorrow, I'll modify the script to fetch a directory full of images and spit 
them all out as png files.

Thanks Ralph.
