The library in issue:

/usr/local/lib/libpng12.so.0

Did not come from CentOS ... BUT ... it is meeting CentOS requirements
now that it is installed.

What does this say:

rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/local/lib/libpng12.so.0

The first question you need to answer is why you have something
providing a major requirement like that in /usr/local/lib/

Then you need to decide if you want that item.
