What he means about 'something is left out' was what we discussed offlist 
- he wants some of the programs that I did not include in my selection.

netpbm seems to work fine with BL3, for which you compiled it.  THe 
problems only arise when I try to use it with BL2 after adding libc5 to 
it, and I have to steer some of the programs to the correct library (the 
older one of two).  I included something about this in my package.
