This looks to me like a major portage screwup. I see that on my ~amd64

as bad, version 1.2.43-r1 removed the libpng12 header files.
For now, I'd suggest just going back to to 1.2.40 if you can -- maybe mask

I should have said 1.2.40 instead of 1.2.43, sorry
Meanwhile I'm trying to fix firefox so I can read the bug report mentioned
by Andras.
well I'm getting into a .la hell...
you need to rebuild packages which are themselves not invalid and therefore
can't be found by revdep-rebuild...
searching with "grep png12 `find /usr/lib64/ -name '*.la'`" lists all .la
^^
I think the png12 should be png14 instead. We need to go backwards by re-
building the packages that have already been linked against libpng-1.4.2
(which we are removing until it's fixed).
files with a bad png version, rebuilding those will fix the system. after that
all packages found by revdep-rebuild can be emerged.
