Test failure log for media-libs/netpbm-10.70.00 on stable ppc with FEATURES=test enabled

The test suite for media-libs/netpbm-10.70.00 requires ghostscript, or alternatively to disable the ps-roundtrip.test and ps-alt-roundtrip.test tests (which is done by the 10.76.00 ebuild).  This means it is not possible to merge this package with FEATURES=test on stable without ghostscript.

probably will just sit on this and wait for 10.76.00 to go stable.  this isn't a regression, and this is the first report we've had of this scenario.

even without FEATURES=test, media-libs/netpbm-10.70.00 will not install from a bare stage3 with default use flags unless ghostscript-gpl is installed on the system.

ghostscript-gpl should be added to the dependencies for this package, or the postscript use flag should be reinstated to disable the requirement.

ping; tests in stable are still with broken deps

[Comment 4 Viorel Munteanu 2021-10-24 10:06:07 UTC]

This is fixed in media-libs/netpbm-10.86.24
