Though you Can successfully have both libpng2 and libpng3 installed from the manner in
which you phrased your query of upgrading "some apps" such is not a prudent course of
action because you will indubitably fall prey to shared dependencies.
App A uses libpng2 but needs the resources provided by App B which requires the libs
provided by libpng3, and then there are Apps C and D which are the reverse in needs.
Somewhere upon this tumultuous path the probability of conflicts and broken apps
become inevitability.
A wiser and less tedious course is to upgrade to 8.2, where libpng3 is the default.
