Description:
Netpbm includes the pamtopnm utility (also sysmlinked as pnmtopnm) that is necessary to convert pam images to the old pnm format supported by most 3d party. Without this utility it is often impossible to use pam files with older apps.

The utility is regularly shipped with netpbm stable, compiles and run perfectly on archlinux it is however disabled by the PKGBUILD in arch.patch.

What is the rationale behind this? The converter is used by most scripts that mix netpbm and non-netpbm utilities so it is important to have it.

Additional info:
* package version: netpbm 10.35-298
* config and/or log files etc.

Attached a arch.patch file that do not disables pamtopnm

This task depends upon
