Description Michael Young 2019-06-15 22:55:39 UTC 
The build of xen in rawhide runs
/usr/bin/fig2dev -L png network-bridge.fig >network-bridge.png.tmp

which gives the error
BUILDSTDERR: sh: -q: command not found
BUILDSTDERR: Error in ghostcript or netpbm command
BUILDSTDERR: command was:  -q -dSAFER -r80 -g711x553 -sDEVICE=ppmraw -o - - | pnmtopng 2>/tmp/f2derrormA6tlP
BUILDSTDERR: Messages resulting:
BUILDSTDERR:   pnmtopng: Error reading first byte of what is expected to be a Netpbm magic number.  Most often, this means your input file is empty

It looks like transfig-3.2.7a now auto-detects gs at build time which means it needs
BuildRequires: ghostscript
in the spec file as otherwise no gs is set and fig2dev fails as above.

xen does build with transfig built with BuildRequires: ghostscript added to the spec file.
Comment 1 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2019-06-18 13:33:52 UTC 
Considering that this bug makes the package unusable, and that the fix is very straightforward,
I pushed the fix directly to dist-git and started a rebuild of the package.

Built in rawhide.
