Bug 822360 – dev-tex/latex2html-2021.2 may call pnmquant with -norandom option: this requires >=media-libs/netpbm-10.86.24

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description mehw 2021-11-07 22:59:17 UTC]

Hello,

The dev-tex/latex2html-2021.2's 'pstoimg.pl' and 'latex2html.pl' perl scripts may call media-libs/netpbm's 'pnmquant' with a '-norandom' option:
https://github.com/latex2html/latex2html/commit/d64bdbd5fe28e8f35ad4d263bdbefd5d2f1c78b4

The '-norandom' option is supported in 'pnmquant' starting from the in-tree media-libs/netpbm-10.86.24 package...

To prevent errors, it's best to force the installation of a version of media-libs/netpbm that supports `pnmquant -norandom`.

Thanks! I suppose we will then need to stable a newer netpbm...

I see that media-libs/netpbm-10.86.24 has been stabilized ;)
