Then they should (build-)depend on imlib1-dev rather than expecting libgnome-dev to depend on it for them. Certainly none of the three libraries whose development files libgnome-dev contains needs imlib1. > any Gnome 2 stuff at the moment, so it's not a big problem unless you > have other things that need libpng3-dev.

I have things that need PNG and are otherwise unconstrained, so I *could* use libpng2 with them; I just have no inherent reason to, and therefore would really prefer to be able to use libpng3 instead. -- Aaron M.
