Package: libfreetype-dev
Version: 2.13.2+dfsg-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to install package libfreetype-dev version 2.13.2+dfsg-1+b1 on my
Debian/testing but I have errors due to unresolved dependencies with libpng16-16
package.

$ sudo apt install libfreetype-dev

This issue seems to be related to the ongoing testing transition auto-libpng1.6
=> https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-libpng1.6.html

How can this problem be solved ?

Thanks, Laurent
