Public bug reported: I was installing an application that required the 32 bit compatibility libs on a 64 bit system. The library that was needed was /usr/lib32/libpng.so.3
It turns out that this should be a link to /usr/lib32/libpng12.so.0. Installing this link fixed the issue, but I would suggest that when the package libpng3 is installed then the link should be installed at the same time. lsb_release -rd = Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 Package Version - 1.2.44-1 of libpng3 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: libpng3 1.2.44-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-24.42-generic 2.6.35.8 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Jan 25 19:43:41 2011 InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE= LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: libpng ** Affects: libpng (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug maverick -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/707770 Title: libpng.so.3 missing for 32 bit apps -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
