I was hoping that maybe tetex had a non-specific dependency on libpng and would 
compile with the newer one. Looking at the show-deps for tetex-base lists 
libpng3, so I would agree that's where the problem is. My guess is that the 
easiest fix would be to update matplotlib to depend on texlive instead of 
tetex. What's more, the last line of the rerror is the read_png function call 
in the texmanager.py file, so, yeah.

Thanks,
Sean
