This was one problem on my todo list still. Netpbm does not install  
as most public domain software packages do. Trying to update it to a  
later version played havoc with my install scripts (which I failed to  
notice) and the result was a very broken i-Package that some have  
installed.

This left the following in your /usr/local tree:

On install the updated netpbm i-Package (containing the latest super  
stable netpbm release) will remove that garbage. It will do that  
carefully. All the Makefiles will only be removed if they contain  
netpbm stuff. So, this will not remove your own Makefile from /usr/ 
local if you happen to have one.
