Thanks for the clarification, I guessed that something like this might
be happening.

I've opened issue #20341:
https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/20341/

Pull request to follow...

Cheers,

Re: [Pharo-dev] libpng fails to download

[Nicolas Cellier]

Yes, that's a problem.
Some projetcs have a strict policy and remove old versions (for example
because they have vulnerabilities).
So we have to regularly update our upstream links.
But we have caches on Travis/Appveyor because reconstructing those external
dependencies is very costly
(see the cache directive near line 7 of
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/.travis.yml).
Consequently, a green build on the CI server might well be red anywhere
else...

This is a little terse for me to be sure of your meaning, but I'll take
it to mean I should submit the patch. :-)

BTW: I tested libpng-1.6.30 on the full test suite, and the set of
failing tests was the same.


Cheers,
