The problem is that the original package was a binary upload compiled against libpng2 from woody. But the build depend on libpng-dev pulls in the libpng3 version. So a pbuild of the binary will automatically create a new binary bound to libpng3 instead of libpng2. This may be fixed by installing libpng2 and libpng2-dev prior to building the new package. I have verified this in a woody chroot. > > Can a new upload be made that fixes this problem? Please? Bob P.S. Still a little peeved that kdelibs3 with similar problems never got fixed.
