None, command not found
@Kerplunk Thanks, I hd planned to add that option but apparently polls have only four options.
@Kerplunk what distro? And does it make it easy to install it (eg apt-get install pngcheck)?
Hi Chris,
Thank you for the heads up
Available is pngcheck (4.0.1-1 Debian:unstable [amd64])
sudo apt update && sudo apt install pngcheck
Distro is antiX Debian based.
pngcheck versions 3.0.2 and earlier have a divide-by-zero bug when zlib-decoding interlaced PNGs with extra data beyond what is required for the declared image dimensions.
Will look at usage tomorrow, see what the devs say about inclusion in the distro.
Jon Bosak@svgeesus "PNGcheck, version 2.3.0 of 7 July 2007". Downloaded just now to Ubuntu running under Win11.
@bosak Wow that is truly ancient (and more recent versions fix several security issues)
AliveDevil@svgeesus If I had it installed it'd be 3.0.3:
~> apt list pngcheck
pngcheck/questing 3.0.3-3 amd64
Simon Sapin@svgeesus Fedora 43 offers to install 4.0.1 after "command not found"
on a Debian 13 server, the package available is 3.0.3
