9 The blockers that will force gdk-pixbuf to rebuilt first will just
10 ensure there are no -lpng14 or -lpng15 entries in gdk-pixbuf-2.0.pc that
11 would break apps compile-time.

13 The rebuilding of gdk-pixbuf and cairo is still necessary early, because
14 apps using gdk-pixbuf to handle .png at buildtime AND runtime (mostly
15 gnome apps) will fail with message ".png: File type is not supported"
16 (Maybe not with this exact wording, but close to it.) that is an result
17 of condition where eg. cairo is built against png14 but gdk-pixbuf with
18 png15 or otherway around -- conflict
