Public bug reported:

/usr/bin/anytopnm uses the output of "file" to recognize the image format of 
the input file.
Apparently the output of "file" has changed, and therefore it is no longer 
correctly recognized by anytopnm. Example:

$ file /tmp/x.ppm
/tmp/x.ppm: Netpbm image data, size = 5100 x 6600, rawbits, pixmap

However, /usr/bin/anytopnm (line 64) looks for the strings *PBM* | *PGM*
| *PPM* )

For example:

$ cat /tmp/x.ppm | anytopnm
/usr/bin/anytopnm: unknown file type:  Netpbm image data, size = 5100 x 6600, 
rawbits, pixmap

Suggested fix: update /usr/bin/anytopnm to recognize the string "Netpbm"
in addition to PBM, PGM, PPM.
