Re: [gentoo-user] Re: libpng12 is missing

Argh.  Just have to vent a little.

Bring up a new install on a system whose system disk died and was replaced with an SSD.  OS installed no problems.  Recovered my RAID5 and LVM JBOD volume (a GIANT THANK YOU to the mdadm and lvm2 folks!).  Then first "weekly" update hits the libpng12 issue.  No complaints, it's what I expect being at ~amd64 and the price I willing pay for the benefits of gentoo.  Another THANK YOU to the lafilefixer folks and system is up.

So on to my list a applications to be installed.  Firefox check, openoffice check, handbrake...crap.  Handbrake is one of the non-standard packages that includes their own version of support libraries.  You guessed it, libpng12 dependent.  Argh!

Have fun,
Roy
