Admittedly, I trusted Tom Lane's list of affected packages, looked at
ldd -u -r output and then examined the source.

Puzzles me. The F-16 build doesn't depend on libpng* directly:

$ rpm -qR geeqie|grep png
$ rpm -q geeqie
geeqie-1.0-13.fc16.x86_64

Seems I'll need to test further and _not_ focus on libpng*.
