Details

Description:
netpbm upstream contains commits that add python3 compatibility [1][2].
After applying the patches the build does not work as some of the docs from netpbm-doc-31Jan2014.tar.xz contain invalid utf-8.
The invalid characters can be preserved and written out again so the man pages will be identical [3].
As an alternative the docs can be converted to utf-8 [4].

Additional info:
* netpbm-10.73.33-1

Overlinking can be removed by:

Recent history for this package in that regard:
For the time being python(2) support was dropped entirely in august of 2022[0]
In the meantime there were newer releases and the mentioned commits could be released (still figuring it out, but the SF viewer for the history doesn't make it easy).

Edit: The python3 compat seems to be only available from the stable[1] versions and not super_stable, what is currently packaged. Therefore fixed with versions 10.80.00+.

@loqs, is this bug still relevant? Currently it seem the package does not need python at all and python2 was long dropped from the repos ...

The man pages were dropped and become a TODO item in [1]. If the intent is to reinstate the man pages as the TODO implies I could provide an updated patch. Although as the package has no maintainer it might be simpler to close the issue.
