Package: imagemagick
Version: 7:6.6.0.4-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/convert
I am adopting batmon.app for the GNUstep team, and trying to convert the
application's TIFF icon to XPM (for the benefit of debian/menu). The
command in the build-stamp rule is the following (almost identical in
all GNUstep packages where TIFF images are used exclusively):
convert Resources/Batmon_icon.tif -resize 32x32 batmon.xpm
When building the debian package, the error message is:
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/batmon.app-0.5'
convert Resources/Batmon_icon.tif -resize 32x32 batmon.xpm
convert: unable to open image `Resources/Batmon_icon.tif':
/usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.6.0/modules-Q16/coders/tiff.la @
error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2489.
convert: unable to open image `Resources/Batmon_icon.tif': @
error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2489.
convert: missing an image filename `batmon.xpm' @
error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2940.
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
Confusingly, if I run the command manually in a terminal, it is
different:
convert: Resources/BatMon_icon.tif: unknown field with tag 37724 (0x935c)
encountered. `TIFFReadDirectory' @ warning/tiff.c/TIFFWarnings/703.
I tried opening the problematic file (herewith attached) in some image
viewers available in Debian (emacs23, preview.app, eog, to name a few)
and they display the image without any problem. It looks like it was
created with a proprietary program (what a shame!), but otherwise it
doesn't seem natural to me the `convert' program to refuse to convert
it if generic image viewers are able to dipslay the image...
Is this an invalid TIFF file? Is this a bug in imagemagick and if so,
how can I workaround it? I am not familiar with your package at all,
and these are among the most cryptic error messages I've ever seen :-(.
Thanks in advance.
