Sorry, looking at the package, I thought I saw that sdl was still compiled against libpng2. If the package is already compiled against libpng3, it's not necessary to go to extra work to roll it back; just recompile against version-enabled libpng3. All packages that currently use sdl-image and libpng2 will still be broken -- this is nothing new -- but now they can choose between porting to libpng3, or just recompiling against libpng2. > Wouldn't it be nice to coordinate this on the debian-sdl list I requested a > 251 days ago? I'm sorry, I don't follow sdl development. It was the (IMHO misguided) suggestion to increment the SONAME that demanded my attention. It also doesn't sound to me like you've done anything wrong with your own packages: it's only the lower-level libraries (here, libpng) that require further attention.
