Doesn't seem to be the case here. (Some details below), But do we have
a accepted way to handle this problem now?

eix shows both versions installed with 1.2.43-r3 in slots (1.2) and
1.4.2 in slot 0. Or at least I THINK thats what that output means.
(Asterisks added ed -hp)
I] media-libs/libpng
Available versions:
(0) 1.2.43-r2 (~)1.4.2
(1.2) (~)1.2.43-r3
Installed versions: ( ** 1.2.43-r3(1.2) ** )(10:18:02 05/23/10)
( ** 1.4.2 ** ) 10:14:51
But still some pkgs strike out from what appears to be libpng errors:
Example: xfce-base/thunar-1.0.2, (Wrapped for mail)
(Emphasis added with asterisks -ed hp)

The log files show a 8-9 pkgs failing... I'm not sure about all of
them but at least 5 are for this same error.
