libpng was installed, slotted on Tuesday May 11 |
| 38 |
nothing broke. |
| 39 |
Didn't run lafilefixer, but did run revdep-rebuild a few times, and |
| 40 |
two deep world updates since then. On Jun 28 emerge --depclean --pretend |
| 41 |
told me that libpng-1.2 is not used anymore. So I unmerged it (along |
| 42 |
with a bunch of other stuff), and ran revdep-rebuild for good measure. |
| 43 |
|

Should I let my breath out now, or should I not be surprised if |
| 45 |
this "problem" hits a few weeks down the road? |
