What I missed is that in recent months the former (home-compiled) chrome package was removed and the chrome-binary package was renamed to google-chrome (I suppose=20 the google brand was supposed to clue me in that I'm installing the=20 google build rather than the gentoo build). However, the newer google-chrome package forces the downgrade of libpng=20 to libpng12 for the entire machine, which I don't want, so I'll continue to use my simple home-brew method. Now that Pandu has mentioned it, I can edit the google-chrome ebuild to=20 do what I want :) The part where I install the obsolete libpng12 in=20 the /opt/google/chrome directory instead of /usr/lib is the part I'm not sure about.
