I looked at those threads, but I don't see any convincing reason why a bug in useful software should not be fixed just because the software is old. The Linux kernel is 25 years old, and still being maintained :)
It seems to be more of a case of "the maintainer can't be bothered to maintain the package"? Is there a process by which one can request the package to be transferred to another maintainer? -- 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
