[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#810180: astrometry.net: Please update dependency on libpng-dev

[tobi at debian.org]

Package: astrometry.net
Severity: important
User: libpng at packages.debian.org
Usertags: libpng16-transition

Dear astrometry.net maintainers,

Currently we are preparing the transition of libpng1.2 to libpng1.6.
The transition bug is #650601.

A rebuild of all packages depending on libpng-dev and
libpng(3,12,12-0)-dev has been done. The result with buildlogs can be
found here: https://libpng.sviech.de/

astrometry.net builds fine with libpng16, you can see the buildlog
here: https://libpng.sviech.de/astrometry.net.build

Howver, astrometry.net (build-)depends an versioned development
package libpng12-dev. Please update your (build-)depends to
libpng-dev to help in the transition.

This bug will become RC as soon as the transition starts, as it is
planned to remove libpng12. 

Thanks!
