Don't restrict bugs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 136661 ***
I didn't mean to lock/restrict that bug, I must have come over the check-box by mistake. However The described problem concerns libpng 1.2.12 and not 1.2.10. applications like gimp, imagemagick... are still not building on my (Gentoo-stable) system.
