How so? It's just being removed from sid, and no upload of this package has been made in the last 9 months. > Josselin: I see from #323354 that you are planning to kill > off libpng2 soon in any case.

You should preferably rebuild it with gtk2, as the long-term plan is to kill gtk1, but it's not going to happen anytime soon. > That's not the only package that this (wrong IMO) change to > gdk-imlib make uninstallable on my system though. Please > fix this and/or advise of a transition plan. You should just rebuild the package against gdk-imlib11, that's all. That package is linked against libpng12, as libpng2/libpng10 has been removed as well. Regards, -- .''`.
