Yep, you're right, I did say that. I meant to say "I was trying to
install libpng1, as noted, because libg-progs said I needed it."...
which, of course, isn't an answer to your question.

I apparently already have, since it's not there anymore.  My currently
installed libpng is 1.0.3-4

Currently installed:
libtiff-3.5.5-2
libgr-2.0.14-2
libgr-devel-2.0.14-2
libpng-1.0.3-4

Now, a different problem:

[root@cartman other]# rpm -Uvh libgr-progs-2_0_14-2_i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libpng.so.1 is needed by libgr-progs-2.0.14-2

Is that just a broken symlink problem, you think?

I'd love to, but as noted above, I apparently nuked it.  I was doing
this at about midnight:30, I'm not surprised I forgot to note doing
that in my log.  Typescript next time, for sure!

Had no luck at all that night; tried main + 3; it was Pinstripe
release night, I think.
