Just a note to those trying out KDE 2.2 under Mandrake 7.2:

I downloaded KDE 2.2 for Mandrake 7.2. It requires new packages
such as libsane1, libpng2, which I backported from the Mandrake 8.0
SRPMS. After satisfying the new dependencies, KDE 2.2 upgraded
from 2.1.1 with no problems ( some of the development packages
have had static libs separated out ).

However the libpng2 dependency caused Opera 5 and other utils
like xli, xv, GIMP to break on PNG images. So I reinstalled
the libpng-1.0.8 package and moved the libpng-1.0.12 shared
libs into another directory, ran ldconfig, and Opera and
the other apps seem happy.

I haven't tried testing the SANE dependent packages yet
but if there are similar problems I assume the same kind of
fix should work.
