I have a production machine which was 95% potato. I had to update the libc6 libraries to install a couple of woody packages which were needed by others.
I found today that latex2html was broken. The error I am trying to track down is: /usr/bin/pnmcrop: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/bin/pnmcrop: undefined symbol: pm_optParseOptions2 I should point out that latex2html is not broken on potato nor on sid. Unfortunately this machine is now in an in between state. Since the libc libraries had already been updated, there was no going back to potato, so I began a very gradual upgrade of pieces of the system, in particular latex2html, gs-aladdin, and netpbm (and perl to 5.6). Running latex2html with the -debug option yields (processing the first image): Converting image #20 Debug (syswait): Running "/usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/pstoimg -type png -debug -tmp /tmp/l2h23593 -discard -interlace -antialias -depth 1 -scale 1.6 -geometry 33x19 -margins 42,72 -crop abls -transparent -out img20.png /tmp/l2h23593/image020.ps" at /usr/bin/latex2html line 4181 pstoimg V2K.1beta (Revision 1.11, Perl 5.006) pstoimg: Temporary directory is /tmp/l2h23593 pstoimg: Processing /tmp/l2h23593/image020.ps pstoimg: EPSF dimensions are 38x27 pstoimg: Running /usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=ppmraw -g61x44 -r115 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -sOutputFile=/tmp/l2h23593/p23606.pnm GS>-41 -694 translate GS>(/tmp/l2h23593/image020.ps) run GS>showpage GS>quit AFPL Ghostscript 6.50 (2000-12-02) Copyright (C) 2000 Aladdin Enterprises, Menlo Park, CA.

I *really* would prefer not to upgrade this machine to sid, so any help in tracking this down would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Tom -- Thomas R.
