Well after posting the explanation of what I have done about libpng12 and libpng16 and reading from Chow Loong Jin (hyperair) that his analysys of MONO points him to :

Mono: DllImport error loading library: '/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: version `PNG12_0' not found

I tried to remove the symbolic link I did add manually :

$ sudo rm /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0

The program looks at the first instance of the library found (may be). So now it has to go at the right place to find it in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

And it looks like now Banshee 2.4.1 is working fine :-). Then I just performed an Ubuntu Update (Gnome) since I am a subscriber of the ppa maintained by Chow Loong Jin (hyperair) and the last version 2.6.1 of Banshee is now working in my system.

Thank you so much Mr. Chow Loong Jin (hyperair) for your time and insight.

I will later try to compile and build a package on my system using the libpng16 libraries.

Can you you please update the status of this bug to Fixed instead of Invalid ? Thanks.

One day I hope Ubuntu will try to move on from libpng12 which is on old version receiving only security updates. One day thre will be no support at all for it.
