Public bug reported: In PIL/Image.py you'll find _showxv being used to actually throw up an image viewer. This function hardcodes the 'xv' viewer, which afaik has been removed from the (debian) archive a long time ago on account of non-freeness. My personal copy has patched it to use `display` from imagemagick since I use that anyway. Whatever is decided, a Suggests might be in order too.
** Affects: python-imaging (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- im.show fails in absence of xv https://launchpad.net/bugs/67755 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
