21 Yes, indeed the new libpng-1.4 is breaking a lot of packages (think i read
22 sth. about relation to not using --as-needed or so on some gentoo-related
23 blogs ).
24 After fixing the qt-3 ebuild it still broke bluefish and some others....

26 For the time being i would suggest masking libpng-1.4... until this is
27 resolved.
