DESCRIPTION
netpbm[1] are tools for manipulating graphic files in many formats.

Utilities provided by the netpbm package prior to the 9.25 version

files with predictable names without checking if the target file
already exists.


SOLUTION
It is recommended that all netpbm users upgrade their packages.
