What version of fvwm are you trying to build? The current unstable version (2.4.15-2) does not seem to have a (direct or indirect) build-dependency on libpng-dev, so I cannot reproduce this at all. pn libpng-dev <none> (no description available) pn libpng10-dev <none> (no description available) pn libpng12-0-dev <none> (no description available) pn libpng12-dev <none> (no description available) pn libpng2-dev <none> (no description available) pn libpng3-dev <none> (no description available) mizar:[~] sudo apt-get -s build-dep fvwm Reading Package Lists...
