Description:

pngcrush need to be rebuilt, since libpng has moved to the next version.

There's a warning on each run:
> Warning: versions are different between png.h and png.c
> png.h version: 1.6.29
> png.c version: 1.6.30
> | It was built with system libpng-1.6.29
> | and is running with system libpng-1.6.30

I haven't noted any problems.

Additional info:
* pngcrush v1.8.11-2
* libpng v1.6.30-1
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  The upstream developer should stop spamming users.

Other than the fact that the pngcrush developer is clearly an unmitigated jerk, based on the amount of useless spew produced at the beginning of every run right after this warning (and the terrible habit of spewing the license as part of the --help output), I am not seeing the problem either...

It's not like you can even justify rebuilding the package to avoid spamming the terminal every time this program is run -- upstream is quite happy to spam the terminal regardless, it seems.

And "the system library was upgraded from libpng16.so.16.29.0 to libpng16.so.16.30.0" is ultimately not a valid complaint, because the upstream developer should learn the meaning of sonames and stop the pointless complaints that just irritate users.
