Description Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

The ebuild fails to create a system link from /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 to
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.3 which causes a lot of progs not to run.

the solution, apparently, is to do this:

emerge -c libpng
emerge libpng

portage related bug that it fails mtimes when you have "autoclean" enabled.

emerge unmerge libpng; emerge libpng

Will remove all instances and then install it "clean" and that will work.
