           Summary: Version of PIL installed on extensions-web is too old
    Classification: Infrastructure
           Product: sysadmin
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Packages
        AssignedTo: sysadmin-maint gnome bugs
        ReportedBy: jstpierre mecheye net

     GNOME version: ---


Users of extensions.gnome.org have been experiencing issues uploading
interlaced PNG files; the version of PIL installed on those servers does not
support reading interlaced PNG files.

As such, any page with a thumbnail created from an interlaced PNG file will
crash, as our thumbnail generator (sorl.thumbnail) uses PIL to do the
downscaling of the images. As it's third-party vendor code, it's impossible to
"wrap" it, and the third-party code does not wrap usage of PIL in a try/except
to catch the IOError.

Newer versions of PIL support interlaced PNG files.
