Creating a new ticket, since replacing version 1.5 with 1.6 seems to break alot of packages. We should problably wait until all packages support this version.

Do you have a list of what is known to break ?
So far, I've only built as far as xulrunner/firefox with 1.6.1 (the apng patch came out a few hours ago). The only thing I've so far broken is libtheora-1.1.1 which is fixed by
sed -i 's/png_\(sizeof\)/\1/g' examples/png2theora.c
That's based on a b0rken link google found, which said to replace any users of png_sizeof() by sizeof().
I agree that you might not want to do that for 1.5 ( dunno - it's only in examples/, nobody is likely to use it ;-) and I'm sure there are probably other things in my "minimal" desktop build which are going to be broken by it, but we're supposed to be bleeding edge, aren't we ?
Maybe I should add that this is on LFS-7.3, not LFS-svn.

I'm finishing libpng 1.5 -> libpng 1.6 rebuild and everything works so far. Only gdk-pixbuf build produces a warning which can be easily fixed with a sed.
I'll check libtheora, too.

When I replaced libpng 1.5 with 1.6, several packages including Qt and all of its dependencies broke. I did not try recompiling the packages with libpng 1.6.

I've rebuilt everything, including Qt, Gdk-Pixbuf, librsvg, LibreOffice, MPlayer, VLC, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc and almost everything works fine except one issue with nm-applet icon which I was just about to ask on libpng mailing list. One minor issue appears to be with animated png (the firefox "loading" icon - rotating one" seems to be "blinking").
The only issue I got is
WARNING **: Icon nm-signal-100 missing: (0) Fatal error reading PNG image file: Decompression error in IDAT
I have no idea why I get that. It worked fine with libpng 1.5.

Also, png.h header doesn't include string.h anymore, so we have to watch for "implicit declarations" in package which need string.h but rely on it to be included via png.h - as it was done in Gdk-Pixbuf (which I fixed).
