[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1085877: saods9: Unable to save images to other bitmap formats like JPEG, TIFF etc.

[Thomas Lehmann]

Package: saods9
Version: 8.4.1+repack-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Steps to reproduce:
- Load a 2D FITS image, e.g. by running command: ds9 image.fits
- Use menu File / Save Image / JPEG
- In the "Save As" dialog window leave the file name as suggested (in this case
ds9.jpeg) and press OK button
- In the "JPEG" dialog window accept the default quality setting 75 and press
OK button

   * What was the outcome of this action?

An error message window pops up displaying the text:
"An error occured while creating"
and no JPEG image file is created.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

An JPEG image file containing the image as viewed by SAOImage.
Please note that the issue is not apparent when using the ds9 binary provided
upstream.
