I am also running Sarge with Ralf's stable KDE 3.1. I did the apt-get update,
apt-get -u upgrade combo, and libpng3 was held back. My next step, though,
was to do this:
apt-get -s install libpng3
This indicated that the reason libpng3 was held back was that it depends on
libpng12, which is a new package. I went ahead and did
apt-get install libpng3
And got libpng3 and libpng12. Things seem to work fine still. I don't know
about those packages getting removed. Maybe some KDE 3 stuff from sid made
it to sarge?
