The recent update to netpbm (bug #113842) makes it use the -t flag to mktemp. (That's its whole point.) Unfortunately, that doesn't work on Red Hat Linux 9, because the mktemp package is only 1.5-18, which doesn't have that flag. And I couldn't find an update to a newer version. Suggested fix -- update mktemp too. The package from Fedora Core 1 should work.
We'll be doing a RHBA for mktemp and a new RHBA for netpbm, too which will require the new mktemp. Will close this bug when the erratas have been released. Thanks, Read ya, Phil
Great, thanks. Can you give me a rough idea on timeframe? (Hours, days, weeks?)
A release date isn't clear yet, but installing the mktemp from FC1 or FC2 should work, too, until the errata has been released. Rough time estimate is probably a few weeks at maximum. Read ya, Phil
Not to be a pain, but is this going to happen before the RHL9 EOL? 'Cause it really ought to.
mktemp -t is used only in ppmquantall, ppmshadow, pnmmargin and anytopnm. I tested netpbm-10.24 (rawhide) anytopnm and it works fine for me on FC2. Hence it seems like RH9 issue which is fixed in FC. Jindrich
