Here is what is written in the changelog regarding closing #203020
* debian/patches/pngcrush_relocate_warning: relocated warning
about different versions to verbose header. Closes: #203020.
The keyword is "relocated" as opposed to "eliminated".
Since this bug does not affect the core functionality of pngcrush, I
am reducing the severity to "minor".
The full story follows.
The Debian binary package makes use of the dynamically loadable
libpng for a number of reasons. The warning indicates that libpng has
been upgraded but pngcrush has not been re-compiled.
The upstream author provides a version of pngcrush that uses its own
version of the png routines and feels that this is a better way to do
things. However, in order to make it easier for Debian, this "-nolib"
version is also provided. Thus, the warning when there is a
mis-match.
Originally, the warning appeared everytime "pngcrush" was run which
was annoying, especially when it was run in cron scripts. Thus the
warning has been _relocated_ to be shown only when pngcrush is run in
verbose mode or when you explicitly ask for version info.
Hope this clarifies matters,
Kapil.
