Thanks, see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652089 and: http://www.element14.com/community/thread/17738 The big problem is that libpng14 will never be in Debian (or any other major distro except OpenSUSE) and eagle requires libpng14. I, and many others, have tried to see if Cadsoft would comment on or change that - and their position has been that it's illegal for them to statically link or distribute libpng14 (which doesn't make sense since it uses quite an open and free license). Debian libpng maintainers aren't interested in introducing and maintaining an older version of png, so unless someone else packages it we cannot distribute eagle 6. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
