Hi Kapil, Thanks for the clarification. It appears the change was made for 1.6.4-4 whereas etch has 1.6.4-3 which explains why I see the warning every time the program is run. Very annoying but as you say does not affect the core functionality of pngcrush. I guess this bug can be merged with 203020 and closed. Apologies for the noise.
