maintainers, please verify your package links against libpng12.so.0 and add =media-libs/libpng-1.2* to your RDEPEND string if that's true. qlist <package> | xargs objdump -p | grep libpng
This bug is a duplicate of bug #319061. After correctly building against libpng-1.4.2 it works fine.

Mine definitely does not work, after doing to the following: - emerge -av1 libpng-1.4.2 - lafilefixer --justfixit - emerge -av1 @preserved-rebuild vmware-workstation - revdep-rebuild - lafilefixer --justfixit - revdep-rebuild (nothing reported in error) - emerge vmware-workstation It still reports an error trying to load libpng12.so.0. What else do I need to do?
Sorry, typo in my first step. I didn't specify the version, just did "emerge -av1 libpng"

So you will not need to rebuild half of the system back to 12.
Please try last revision (404) I just changed rdepend from =media-libs/libpng-1.2* to media-libs/libpng:1.2 Thanks.

After using the updated ebuild for r5, this issue has been resolved.
