Package: libgd-perl
Severity: important
User: libpng at packages.debian.org
Usertags: libpng16-transition

Dear libgd-perl 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/

libgd-perl builds fine with libpng16, you can see the buildlog here:
https://libpng.sviech.de/libgd-perl.build

Howver, libgd-perl (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!
