I'm sorry you're frustrated, but just because historically Fink unstable has been fairly stable doesn't mean it was a guarantee. We do what we can to make things go smooth but sometimes we make a mistake. Please chill out and stop berating the developers. We didn't "let it pass", everything we've said about it has been public on the list. When it was first brought up, it was not realized that it was as big of a problem as it is.If this was "brought out" by one of the developers on Sunday then whythehell didn't they pull the friggen thing from the update list. In case you don't know, this is Tuesday!!!! That warning on the Fink site about "unstable" is cute, but the libpng3 in question is in stable, in case the developers didn't notice. I'm really not mad, but admit it, you goofed big time.... This may require a total hard delete of Fing and a complete reinstallation. BTW the graphics probs apply also to all browsers... all of them. Galeon won't load the spinner etc. and Mozilla won't start. I know it's the libpng3 update because that's the only one I did. Now, When I uninstall Libpng3, the warning says "app was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.5..... When I remove libpng-1.0.12 and reinstall libpng3, the console warning says app compiled with 1.0.12. I simply can't believe that the developers let this pass after having known about the problem.
It sounds like the workaround is to install the stable imlib in the meantime, which means all of your gnome stuff will be fixed. The reason we're not changing it right away is because we're deciding how to fix it going forward.
