Public bug reported: /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. ** Affects: netpbm-free (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1623639 Title: netpbm: "anytopnm" doesn't recognize some file types To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netpbm-free/+bug/1623639/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
