Ok, looking on this issue, all apps dependant on GTK will break, as its pkgconfig files require libpng14.
Assuming you meant libpng12, then the SLPP can easily help out here. There is no apparent reason why we would want to drop libpng12 the same day we add libpng14. This is nothing uncommon to happen.
Then we probably need a list of apps depending on libpng12 so they can be verified if they use deprecated functions / calls and have those fixed (by our selfs or by upstream, most likely a combination).
Having a nice transition here with packages that clearly CAN be installed in parallel should not be a problem (libpng-devel should come from libpng14, to favor this one if not explicitly specified to use libpng12-devel, with clear conflicts between libpng12-devel and libpng-devel)
It should be possible to have libpng12-devel and libpng14-devel; the libpng project tries to use different paths for different versions too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
