Bug 249384 – stabilize media-libs/netpbm-10.44.00-r1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Antti Mäkelä 2008-11-30 14:09:01 UTC]

Netpbm 10.43.00 has a bug in pnmflip/pamflip tools, that manifests itself if you try to do -tb flipping. Please either unmask 10.44.00 (where this is fixed), or remask 10.43.00 to restore the working previous version.

Thanks for reporting this issue, assigning to maintainers

we dont mask packages for random minor issues ... nor are any current packages masked

netpbm-10.44.00:
~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~s390 ~sh ~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd

Looks masked to me (by keyword, not by package.mask).

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2008-12-01 22:11:27 UTC]

masked means package.mask.  stable/unstable means KEYWORDS.

  In that case portage/emerge should probably use consistent terminology:

-----
# emerge -av =media-libs/netpbm-10.44.0

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=media-libs/netpbm-10.44.0" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- media-libs/netpbm-10.44.00 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
-----

  Now, I probably should make a new bug report about this to get the terminology right, but nowhere in that error do words "unstable/stable" appear, it's just "masked" and then a reason given (keyword, or package.mask). 

  Thus, I reported this as "masked" since emerge states it's masked.

$ picttoppm 2.pict 
picttoppm: Unable to open file 'fontdir' for reading.  fopen() returns errno 2 (No such file or directory)
$

Using strace(1) I see it look for the fontdir directory in current dir:
open("fontdir", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE)   = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

$ man picttoppm


Seems to be an optional argument -fontdir.

I have released Netpbm 10.45.01 with the fix for that.  I've also attached
a patch that should work on 10.44.00.

[Comment 8 SpanKY 2009-01-21 22:56:23 UTC]

ive applied that fix to 10.44.00-r1, thanks
