 Hi,

 mingw32-libpng-1.2.37-3.el6 got accidentally built for EPEL 6 a while ago.
 It's the only mingw package in EPEL 6 and isn't particularly useful on its
 own; it's also horribly outdated (1.2.37 vs latest 1.2.51) and has a
 number of known security vulnerabilities.

 I am not sure what is the correct procedure to EOL a package from EPEL.
 Could you please either untag the build, or block it from dist-6E-epel?

 Removing the package would fix the following broken deps report that the
 mingw mailing list gets at every EPEL 6 compose:

 {{{
