texlive-core-2008 has this dependency: ">=media-libs/libpng-1.2.43-r2:0". It can cause problems if user want to install libpng-1.2.43-r3:1.2.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge texlive-core
2.unmask libpng:1.2 (but not libpng-1.4)
3.emerge -uDN texlive-core

Actual Results:  
Block between media-libs/libpng-1.2.43-r2:0 pulled by texlive-core and libpng-1.2.43-r3:1.2 installed by user.

Expected Results:  
Normal working with choosed libpng

slot :1.2 only installs libpng12.so.0 for binary-only packages.
therefore the depend on slot :0 is correct.
