Updating libpng12-devel

[Kranthi]

Hi,
I was updating my system and I got this:

The following packages will be upgraded:
google-chrome  libbsd  libpng12  libpng12-devel                                                                                                                 
Total size of package(s): 35.93 MB
There are extra packages due to dependencies.
Do you want to continue? (yes/no)y                                                                                                                               
The following packages have conflicts:
[libpng12-devel conflicts with: libpng-devel ]

Remove the following conflicting packages? (yes/no)

The libpng12-devel package was downloaded from the devel repo for google voice and video chat. So I'll be still needing it. But I am wondering whether the libpng-devel is needed for any other program which would stop working once I upgrade the system. What should I do? Is there any way for me to know which files are dependent on the libpng-devel library?

A ...-devel package is needed when you want to compile software locally.
What are your repo's with the command

Code:

pisi lr

My current investigation shows that I can not find

The libpng12-devel package was downloaded from the devel repo for google voice and video chat.

this ^^^ package in  http://packages.pardus.org.tr/pardus/2011/devel/i686/

I can only find a libpng12-devel in http://paketler.pardus-linux.org/P2011/i686/
And a look of the files of both packages with the command

Code:

pisi info package-name -fs

shows that the common files are:
/usr/bin/libpng-config
/usr/include/png.h
/usr/include/pngconf.h
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpng.pc
/usr/share/man/man3/libpng.3
/usr/share/man/man3/libpngpf.3
/usr/share/man/man5/png.5

The strange behavior is that I can install both packages without any conflict reports.
And to make an estimation which -devel package is needed:
Where can I find the instructions for google voice and video chat

actually, I wanted to install "google voice and video chat" software. For which you, Atolboo, had guided me how to do that.
At that time i added the pardus-devel repository and downloaded the devel packages.
I disabled the pardus-devel repo after that.
This was where you had helped me install "google voice and video chat" software. (thanks again for that):

So now i have the latest devel packages and i'm upgrading to the normal packages i think.
Or should i go ahead and install the newer packages and see if there would be any problem.
If I can revert back, I have no problem in ignoring the conflict.

I guess I am getting er as I had forgotten about that.

My current advise is to remove libpng12-devel  as this package is only needed when building certain packages that have

Code:

        <BuildDependencies>
            <Dependency> libpng12-devel</Dependency>

in there pspec.xml file.
And then it's only needed at the moment when the building process is executed.
