Sorry to say this... .... you, and the script.... are wrong. This is a -WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED- limitation of the script. All your cute kde programs link to kdelibs and qt... kdelibs and qt link to libpng.... so, all your kde programs link to libpng through qt and kdelibs.... re-emerging qt and kdelibs will solve almost all kde programs. continue with the same for gtk-perl.. it links gtk and gdk-pixbuf, gdk-pixbuf links libpng .... gimp links libpng for obvious reasons (unless you have USE="-png" ) gnome-libs ditto (gnome libs handles the menu and icons in png format) fnlib imlib gdk-pixbuf and fltk are all wrapper-libraries for graphics. very common libraries that use libpng to provide png support to other programs so you won't have to update every program around when you want to update the link to libpng... isn't that good of them? that leaves : x11-wm/WindowMaker Try it, emerge theese things and see for yourself.. how many of the binaries will remain? Yes, now I'm irritated that you didn't read my emails close enough, I mentioned this before. //Spider begin quote On Thu, 18 Apr 2002 00:54:36 +0000 "Eugenia Loli-Queru" wrote: > BTW, I _ really_ did not mean any disrespect to the Gentoo team on my > previous emails. > BUT, just for the kicks, these are the packages I need to upgrade, > according to the png script because Portage has somehow emerged that > new libpng: > > update-libs: > ------------ > dev-perl/gtk-perl > gnome-base/gnome-libs > media-gfx/gimp > media-libs/fnlib > media-libs/gdk-pixbuf > media-libs/imlib > net-print/cups > x11-libs/fltk > x11-wm/WindowMaker > > update-bins: > ---------------------- > app-admin/kebuild > app-admin/kemerge > app-editors/quanta > app-games/lbreakout2 > app-misc/krusader > app-office/abiword > app-office/koffice > dev-perl/gtk-perl > gnome-base/control-center > gnome-base/gnome-core > gnome-base/gnome-libs > kde-base/arts > kde-base/kdeaddons > kde-base/kdeadmin > kde-base/kdeartwork > kde-base/kdebase > kde-base/kdebase > kde-base/kdeedu > kde-base/kdegames > kde-base/kdegraphics > kde-base/kdelibs > kde-base/kdelibs > kde-base/kdemultimedia > kde-base/kdenetwork > kde-base/kdepim > kde-base/kdetoys > kde-base/kdeutils > media-gfx/eog > media-gfx/gimp > media-libs/fnlib > media-libs/gdk-pixbuf > media-libs/imlib > media-video/mplayer > media-video/xine-ui > media-video/xmovie > net-im/kopete > net-print/cups > net-www/opera > net-www/opera > x11-libs/fltk > x11-wm/WindowMaker > x11-wm/enlightenment > x11-wm/flwm > x11-wm/icewm > > Sorry, this is almost one more day without really using my PC but > leaving it there, compiling and compiling and compiling and me > watching TV waiting for it.
