• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Nice idea to create a new icedtea6-bin build for libpng-1.5 but in =dev-java/icedtea6-bin-1.10.3-r1 there his still some rogue dependencies to libpng-1.4

To get the Java 64 bit plugin to works in chromium and opera, I had to add the two following softlinks.

libpng14.so -> libpng15.so.15.4.0
libpng14.so.14 -> libpng15.so.15.4.0

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Be sure you don't have media-libs/libpng-1.4 intalled on your system 
2. Install =dev-java/icedtea6-bin-1.10.3-r1 with nsplugin set
3. Try any java applet in your favorite browser.
Actual Results:  
Chromium and opera are to able to load the Jeve plugin due a rogue dependency to libpng-1.4

Damn, I should have resolved bug 356645 before doing the icedtea6-bin...

I wouldn't recommend to do that. Better remove these symlinks and emerge libpng:1.4 if you don't want to wait for the fix.
