Bugzilla Bug 195813

I'm urged to add line
'>media-libs/libpng-1.2.18-r1'
to /etc/portage/package.mask
b'cause if I'm installing new version, libpng-1.2.21-r2, It'll break graphical
system.
'/etc/init.d/xdm restart' will generally do it. Easier testing is trying to
start some graphical program from console.

More explicit information is given after $realplayer -
/opt/RealPlayer/realplay.bin: relocation error:
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so: symbol
png_create_read_struct_2, version PNG12_0 not defined in file libpng12.so.0
with link time reference

Revdep-rebuild does nothing for fixing It.

I tried to re-emerge gtk+, since
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so belongs to It, but this
process complains about missing pango (eix pango gives 'Installed versions: 
1.16.5(13:08:31 14.10.2007)(-debug -doc)'):
//

configure: error:
*** Can't link to Pango. Pango is required to build

//

Re-Emergng Pango builds it w/o cairo support and there is no way to re-build
such file as pangocairo.so (ie pango with cairo support) without masking new
version of libpng and re-establishing old order of things.

It's there and realplayer works here, so you'll face some weird local problem.

You shouldn't use any version older than libpng-1.2.21-r3, because of security
issues.

WFM as well.

This is local(e) problem, indeed. After '$export LC_ALL=POSIX' and emerging new
libpng-1.2.21-r3 problems vanished. Without locale change beforehand the new
-r3 version behaved like 1.2.21-r2, ie breaked down graphical programs.

btw, while
$nm /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0.21.0 gives
'nm: /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0.21.0: no symbols'
realplayer works neverthless.


So there is some locale-mess in libpng-packet. I have had trouble with it under
estonian UTF-8 locale periodically since the beginning of using Linux systems.

Right, can reproduce it here. Build test fails with lots of undefined
references as well, using et_EE.UTF-8.

You'll have them in /usr/lib/debug/

added a fix to 1.2.22, thanks for the report
