Guys, Now that the GIF patents have expired, the programs to support GIFs have been moved back from netpbm-nonfree into netpbm. This leaves only a couple of very rarely-used programs in netpbm-nonfree, so it has been dropped. Your packages all have Suggests: on netpbm-nonfree (presumably for GIF help) which will no longer be fulfilled. As all of you also have Depends:, Recommends: or Suggests: on the main netpbm package, everything should still work for now but please remove the mention of netpbm-nonfree next time you do an upload. I'll file bugs if you'd like me to. Apologies for the timing of this, so soon before the sarge release. I posted a bug asking for the removal of netpbm-nonfree ages back, but it's only just got ftpmaster attention today. I don't think there's any need to panic about trying to upload new packages to go into sarge - missing Suggests: for a removed non-free package is hardly a major bug. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. steve@einval.com Is there anybody out there?
