[Fink-beginners] libpng conflict holding up "update-all"

[Individual . .]

Hi.

ghostscript6 needs libpng, and the new version of libpng is apparently called libpng3, but this is not what ghostscript6 requires and libpng and libpng3 are not compatible it seems.

I have already rebuilt ghostscript and ghostscript6.

Should I force removal of libpng in favour of libpng3? And what will happen with ghostscript6?
