Subject: gdk-imlib1: gdk-imblib1 should not explicitly conflict with libpng2

Package: gdk-imlib1
Version: 1.9.14-22
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Hi,

Unless there is something big I am missing, gdk-imlib should
certainly not take it upon itself to force the removal of
libpng2 and all its dependencies...

Josselin: I see from #323354 that you are planning to kill
off libpng2 soon in any case. Where does this leave apps
that still depend on gtk1? Will it be rebuilt to use png3,
or something else? wx2.4 can build with png3 just fine,
but I'm much less sure about how well it can be rebuilt with
gtk2...

That's not the only package that this (wrong IMO) change to
gdk-imlib make uninstallable on my system though. Please
fix this and/or advise of a transition plan.

thanks,
Ron
