16 This looks to me like a major portage screwup. I see that on my ~amd64
17 machine I have both versions of libpng, but the 1.2.43-r1 doesn't install
18 a pkg-config file because 1.4.2 installs one with the same name, and just
19 as bad, version 1.2.43-r1 removed the libpng12 header files.

21 For now, I'd suggest just going back to to 1.2.43 if you can -- maybe mask
22 >1.2.43 in package.mask?

24 Meanwhile I'm trying to fix firefox so I can read the bug report mentioned
25 by Andras.
