Public bug reported:
It appears that the python-gd package in Kubuntu 11.10 oneiric was
compiled without PNG or JPEG support
the installed package is:
Package: python-gd
Versions: 0.56+dfsg-2ubuntu1
The error can be seen quite easily by starting a python shell then:
>>> import gd
>>> gd.image('file.png')
unsupported file type (only .gif|.png|.jpeg|.jpg|.gd|.gd2|.xbm|.xpm accepted)
The error is confusing because it implies support, when there is none.
However, there is a simple work-around by just using the _gd.so file
from 11.04 pacakge.
** Affects: python-gd (Ubuntu)
