>Description:
NetBSD's current NetPBM package has some flaws:
- Because "xmkmf" is used for configuration it can't be compiled without
  X11 being installed although it works perfectly without.
- It doesn't work with our TIFF library package.
- It doesn't support the PNG format.
- Updates released after 940301 are not used.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/graphics/netpbm
make

>Fix:
Download "ftp://colwyn.owl.de/pub/unix/NetBSD/packages/netpbm.tar.gz" and
replace the current package with its contents.
