libpng-1.2.12 has been rapidly stabilized due to a buffer overflow in |
| 8 |
<libpng-1.2.12 [1]. A lot of packages in stable that depend on libpng are |
| 9 |
incompatible with libpng-1.2.12. In most if not all cases a newer version |
| 10 |
that is compatible exist in ~arch but it has not yet been stabilized. A |
| 11 |
tracker bug [2] has been created to get those packages that are compatible |
| 12 |
with libpng-1.2.12 rapidly stabilized but it probably will take some time. |

Therefore the best solution seems to be to stick with libpng-1.2.12 and run |
| 15 |
`emerge -vtpDu world` to see which packages are pulling in the old version of |
| 16 |
libpng. In most cases there should be a newer version that needs the ~arch |
| 17 |
keyword in /etc/portage/package.keywords in order to be installed and thereby |
| 18 |
stop pulling in the old version of libpng. If you need help post the output |
| 19 |
of `emerge -vtpDu world` where it is trying to downgrade libpng... |
