It doesn't depend on gdk-imlib at all. Only png2/10 (and only because gtk1 needed it to be so). If this conflict came from png3/png-dev, I'd find it easier to agree with that claim. > > Unless there is something big I am missing, gdk-imlib should > > certainly not take it upon itself to force the removal of > > libpng2 and all its dependencies... > > How so?

Well the latter just makes it "stable" ;-) I guess I don't properly understand the deep link between the png packages and the gdk-imlib ones, as affects packages that don't care about gdk-imlib at all.

Yeah. wx2.6 is out, so the long term plan is to kill wx2.4, but the same caveat applies. > > That's not the only package that this (wrong IMO) change to > > gdk-imlib make uninstallable on my system though.

In this case I just need to fix the build-dep from png10 -> png12, (for the bits I'm responsible for) but I guess I missed the memo that we were rolling on that this week. I'm not unhappy that it's happening, just surprised at how... thanks! Ron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
