This is several test failures, which seem to be triggered by the upgrade of
libpng1.6 from 1.6.44 to 1.6.45. They can also be seen in the "as-installed"
test suite via autopkgtest.

In this test (testsuite/gdk/colorstate.c), GDK builds a 4x2 pixel image
with RGBA data in 32 bits per channel floating point, where each pixel
has value either 0% or 100%, in a specified colour space; saves it to a
PNG file; loads it back from the PNG file; and asserts that the colour
state in both versions are the same.
When the initial colour space is srgb, it successfully saves to the PNG
file in srgb and reads back srgb.
The (first) failing test is using srgb-linear. With libpng 1.6.44, this
round-trips through libpng successfully: GDK writes out srgb-linear and
reads back srgb-linear. With 1.6.45, the colour state that is read back
appears to be plain srgb (I'm not clear on what the difference is but
presumably it's significant).
You can run just this test in a gtk4 build tree with:
meson test -C obj-${DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE} colorstate
and it doesn't need any special setup (except perhaps an X11 and/or
Wayland display).

These are "reftests" which draw the same scene in two different ways,
and assert that the node tree in GSK's scene graph is equivalent. With
libpng 1.6.44, they pass. With libpng
You can run just these tests with commands like:
meson test -C obj-${DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE} "parser empty-texture.node"
Please could the libpng maintainers take a look at this? Is this a libpng
regression, or is GTK's test suite expecting behaviour that libpng didn't
intend to provide?
Thanks,
