I run two Debian systems that I use plucker on. One had the plucker deb package installed (1.1.5) from the unstable distro. The other was running 1.1.12 installed via the install-script that is packaged with the archive from the plkr page. Both worked well. When I ran an apt-get update/upgrade today, I was pleased to find plucker upgrading to the newest 1.1.12. However, now images are not converted. This is independent of the kind of image it is (tried jpg, gif and png). The error I get reads: Runtime error parsing document file:/tmp/comics/dilbert20010906.gif: Error while converting image. Parsing failed! Looking through the archives, I found a few posts regarding this at: http://www.mail-archive.com/plucker-list%40rubberchicken.org/msg00204.html which mention some fixes due to a newer version of netpbm (which I have installed, netpbm 2:9.16-3. I've checked this and these are what my settings are already. ;; Config to enable the use of pnmtopalm by default.

Conversely, cleaning everything off and a 'script' installation from the site shows the same signs. I can't even get the machine back to the way it was! Am I just missing something stupid, or is this a real problem? Thanks for your time and help. Dave.
