[gentoo-user] libpng flip-flops after xorg-x11 upgrade

[gentoo-user] libpng flip-flops after xorg-x11 upgrade

[Hans de Hartog]

After upgrading to xorg-x11-7.0-r1, every emerge -Du world
wants to downgrade from libpng-1.2.12 to libpng-1.2.8-r1 and
if I do that, any emerge after that wants to upgrade again to
libpng-1.2.12.
Everything seems to work fine with either version of libpng.
Here's my emerge --info:

libpng-1.2.12 has been rapidly stabilized due to a buffer overflow in 
<libpng-1.2.12 [1]. A lot of packages in stable that depend on libpng are 
incompatible with libpng-1.2.12. In most if not all cases a newer version 
that is compatible exist in ~arch but it has not yet been stabilized. A 
tracker bug [2] has been created to get those packages that are compatible 
with libpng-1.2.12 rapidly stabilized but it probably will take some time.

Therefore the best solution seems to be to stick with libpng-1.2.12 and run 
`emerge -vtpDu world` to see which packages are pulling in the old version of 
libpng. In most cases there should be a newer version that needs the ~arch 
keyword in /etc/portage/package.keywords in order to be installed and thereby 
stop pulling in the old version of libpng. If you need help post the output 
of `emerge -vtpDu world` where it is trying to downgrade libpng...

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

That did the trick!!! (together with
echo ~app-text/libpaper-1.1.14.8 ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords )

Thank you very much!

You might consider filing bugs (if noone did before you) requesting that they 
be stabilized due to [1] and that those bugs block [2].
