I remember some problems when moving from libpng14 to libpng15. It may be a solution to move to a newer version of those packages that are broken. You can do that by unmasking them. In general, MASKed packages are supposed to be not fully stable, so it is up to you to decide if you want to allow MASKed packages. I use several MASKed packages and to be honest, it does not really affect the stability of my computer.
I managed to solve parts of the problem. I emerged again gdk-pixbuf. So right now pidgin and firefox are working. However, kate, kshisen gives me the error
Code: Select all
kshisen: error while loading shared libraries: libpng14.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
and I don't want right now to upgrade to kde 4.7. I have right now 4.6.5.
Vlc also has an error:

In the case of vlc, emerge vlc again doesn't help. I just get the ">" and not gui.

I'd like somehow to revert to libpng 14 but it doesn't appear anymore in portage. I have the distfiles/libpng-1.4.8.
How do I make portage to see 1.4.8. version?

While pondering whether to reinstall Gentoo from scratch or ditch the whole thing and download a copy of Opensuse I tried this:
