Bug#650601: libpng transition and how to deal with embedded copies
Dear Nobuhiro, dear Aníbal,
are there any plans for making the transition to libpng 1.5?
I have seen the posting about uploading to unstable back in
June 2012
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=650601#189
but since then wheezy was released and nothing happened.
I am getting stuck with TeX Live, since it *needs* libpng 1.4
or 1.5, and due to library hell (freetype, harfbuzz, graphite2,..)
the mixture of png12 and png15 breaks the programs:
*** xdvipdfmx --ebb picpng.png
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.5.17
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.49
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
Please let me know what your plans are, because otherwise I will
make a temporary upload with *all* the libraries included
as copies, the only way to get it going.
Thanks a lot
Norbert
