No, actually. I got the error then, as part of the attempt to fix it, I removed and re-installed scrollkeeper. Same problem.

There is something busted about the dependencies. Usually, when this happens, I try to install the packages that don't require the thing that fails. In this case libpng and libpng3. But after i installed libpng3, it asked to re-install it. Whatever happened, it did not "see" the re-installation.

Actually, looking at the output, I'm not sure that some of these things are indeed being installed. While the installatiions run there are crashes on the log for scrollkeeper-update that seem to slide past ...

It looks like the update is failing because you don't have scrollkeeper
installed.  Try instaling it first before doing the "update-all".

Prior to this I had tried to remove scrollkeeper and to replace various
other packages. Nothing has worked so far.
