End of story. I don't see a workaround. Yeah, looks like it. (I think redhat-lsb.spec is pretty broken in that it onlu appears to be trying to force a particular soname version for libpng, when the spec clearly demands a particular version for each of these libraries. But that's not very relevant right now.) What this means, IMO, is that we need to split out libpng12 as a separate package. The current hack that I'm using (bundling 1.2 and 1.5 into a single SRPM) was never meant to be more than a very short-term stopgap; I'm sure it violates all sorts of packaging guidelines. Is there any way we can fast-track that? I see little value in going through the normal package review pushups, when this is absolutely nothing except a backwards-compatibility package --- it ought to be exactly like the F16 libpng package. And I'd like to get it done before the F18 branch. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
