[ebuild   R   ] dev-perl/GD-2.35-r1  USE="png -animgif -gif -jpeg -truetype -xpm" 0 kB 

I had it compiled with no USE flags. But I just recompiled it with USE=png. Now I get.

erm. that was simple. if dev-perl/GD has USE=png, it needs a built_with_use check on media-libs/gd to have USE=png as well.
