Package: libcairo2-dev
Version: 1.12.2-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I discovered after updating the transition of libpng to the lastest 
experimental 1.5.10-2 that libpng12-dev points to libpng-dev and libpng12-0 
becomes a place holder for libpng-1.5.10-2.

Unfortunately, Chrome, Iceweasel both break as they are expecting libpng12 of 
the 1.2.49-1 variety.

Please rebuild cairo against this new transition and also Iceweasel [I can live 
with Google rebuilding Chrome if they know Debian is making the transition now 
more prominent with libpng moving away from the 1.2.x branch]. For now I 
downgraded libpng12 of experimental back to sid but then that screws up apt-get 
upgrade until I reinstall the experimental version and thus lose 
Iceweasel/Chrome packages until they are fixed.

I can wait for libdirectfb-dev and a few miscellaneous dev packages to be built 
against this transition.

For instance, Inkscape trunk actually looks for libpng12.pc and in order to get 
around it I created a symlink against libpng.pc under 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/ with the following:

libpng12.pc -> libpng15.pc

Now it compiles but I'll bet they'll be updating their configuration with 
autoconf/autotools shortly.

However, it reminds me that Inkscape 0.48.2 will have to be built against the 
new libpng-dev/libpng15 sooner rather than later, as well.

I know I could purge a large collection of software but I've done this once 
already and it's getting annoying.

I'll have to wait to do apt-update until these annoyance hurdles with the PNG 
1.5 library transition is complete.
