After upgrading the OSM tile server to mapink-2.0.0 the export script started returning the error below:
{{{
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/export", line 135, in
jpeg = image.tostring("jpeg")
RuntimeError: palettes are not currently supported when writing to jpeg format
}}}
This seems to fix it by removing the unnecessary empty palette from tostring2:

A similar fix is probably required for image views in view_tostring2
