9 As it happens the issue was moot for me, but I am sure that some people
10 were caught out. I said 'No' to the 'emerge -auDvN @world' and
11 waited. Later I saw a new bugzilla entry
12 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326583) about unneeded opera
13 dependency on libpng. So I waited until after the fix was announced and
14 in the tree and resynced, and it no longer wanted to install
15 libpng-1.2.44.
