I cannot say that "okular" ever read png format: https://okular.kde.org/formats.php
but, what is" "calligra-extras-okular" you quoted above? Looks like a calligra plugin for perhaps reading okular "supported" files.
But nothing about png files.

Hm, it doesn't work in 13.2 here either. It does work in a self-compiled KF5 based version though, but that's not been released yet.
OTOH, you can just use gwenview to display png files, that's KDE's standard image viewer.

"calligra-extras-okular" contains plugins for okular to display .odt and .odp (OpenDocument Text and Presentations) files using calligra.

It has to be a regression, because it works in my 13.1. Or some plugin that I happen to have installed, without knowing what it is.

I don't think it's the latter. I have pretty much all KDE4 related installed here... ;-)

It works for me on 13.2, with latest officially supported packages (KDE 4.14.9). It reads jpeg and gif just fine too btw.
Guess it depends on some lib or plugin being installed or not. No idea which, but here is some of the stuff I have installed, which might be related.

Same here, no kipi plugins installed, only libkipi11

Well, I have the latest KDE4 packages from KDE:Applications installed (i.e. what is in Tumbleweed and the OP uses).
Probably that's the difference/problem...

And where do you have 4.8.0 from? 13.2 has 4.6.0 as update, and KDE:Extra contains 4.11.0.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that libkipi or kipi-plugins do not have any influence on this...

PS: I downgraded okular to 14.12.3 now (from 13.2:Update) and indeed it can open/display PNG files again. So it seems to be a regression in okular 15.04.x.

I think, you can try 'ldd /usr/bin/okular | grep png' to see if it is linked against libpng.

This looks, okular should read and display PNG files then.

That may be a misconception. Just because it is linked in does not necessarily mean that it is being used, especially in the face of shared library inheritance. inkscape for example shows libjpeg (inherited from cairo probably), but is not able to export to jpeg.

That's correct. libpng16 is linked in here too, but okular doesn't display PNG images (or any others like JPG and GIF btw).
I suppose libpng16 is pulled in by Qt4, not okular itself.
I found the reason for the problem though: The Kimgio plugin is missing in the 15.04.3 (and 15.07.90) package.
Okular needs to be build against libkexiv2-devel for this, but the following submit erroneously changed the libkexiv2-devel BuildRequires to pkgconfig(exiv2) (it should have been pkgconfig(libkexiv2) ): https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/KDE:Applications/okular?linkrev=bas...
I will submit a fixed package shortly, displaying image files with okular should work then again with the next update...
Kind Regards, Wolfgang

Not just now, but 1 month ago already, you only got 15.12.0 just now in Tumbleweed...
The libkexiv2 build requirement has been removed again, which is needed for image support. The reason is that there is no KDE4 based libkexiv2 in Factory any more, this has been switched to KF5.
Not much we can do I'm afraid, you have to wait for okular getting released as KF5 application.
Kind Regards, Wolfgang

In case anyone wondering, upstream does *not* want anyone to package the (unstable) KF5-based development version nor to report any bugs against it. I also have no information if there will be a KF5 release in the near future.
