Thanks for your work on this. I've fixed, and rebuild against libpng-1.5,
the following packages:

zvbi
widelands
SILLY
openmsx
nogravity
libglpng
lbrickbuster2
gcompris
camorama
CriticalMass
ClanLib06
ClanLib1
ClanLib
methane
openalchemist
bolzplatz2006,
BlockOutII

Which should take care of all my packages on the list.

Regards,

Hans
