There is no known workaround at this time.

</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
Please note that due to separate bugs in libpng 1.2.17, Gentoo does not
provide libpng-1.2.17 but libpng-1.2.18. All libpng users should
upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/libpng-1.2.18&quot;</code>
