gdk-pixbuf2 depends on libpng12

[robc]

libpng12.so is in Xlibs

[AbNoRMiS]

if you're not going to work only on the command line mode then the Xlibs.tcz will be installed in any case

[robc]

when gdk-pixbuf2 is installed it gives an error...since it is directly dependent upon libpng12 the extension that supplies that lib needs to be added to dep file

Is there a use of gdk-pixbuf2 outside of a running X session? 

Xlibs is a given when running either Xorg or Xvesa, we don't have it in the dep files of all extensions that require an X session running.

[robc]

Depending on the order of extensions in onboot.lst or if gtk2 (gdk-pixbuf) is installed with tce-load before an X is installed, the error message will be seen.  Every extension should contain in its own dep file every dependancy needed to use that extension.  There is an exception when it comes to the X server (until a reasonable way to resolve an either/or dependancy is found), but Xlibs is not an X, it is a set of common libs.

[Jason W]

You have a point, and I don't know if we have an already established protocol on Xlibs.tcz being in the repo's dep files. 

Of all the X library dependent extensions, three dep files in the repo contain Xlibs.tcz aside from Xprogs.tcz.

I am fine either way, perhaps discussion can ensue on the need to include Xlibs.tcz in dep files as opposed to it being assumed as installed.
