[expert] libpng3
Can anyone tell me how can I install libpng3 without the conflicts with other apps. I get a conflict list with all kde 2.2.2 files and others as well as linuxconf. There are some apps I want to upgrade without breaking my system.. I hope someone has an answer. Thanks Harold Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] libpng3
How are you trying to install it? It sounds like you might be doing an update instead of an install, in which case, it's trying to replace the prior version (which causes the conflicts).

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.
