37 I had exactly the same weirdness after 1.6.8 was stabilized. I waited
38 a few hours, re-synced the tree, and then updated without any warnings
39 about blocks; the old libpng was unmerged and 1.6.8 was merged
40 automagically as one would expect. I don't know what caused the problem
41 or what fixed it.
