[Typo3-debian] Typo3.7.0 libpng install error

[Chris Van Pelt]

First off, I appologize for such a delayed response.  I moved on from
the original problem and now it has come back to haunt me.  A quick
synopsis is that the typo3 install tool dies with the following  
error:

Fatal error: imagecreatefrompng(): gd-png: fatal libpng error:
Incompatible libpng version in application and library in
/var/lib/typo3/typo3_src-3.8.0/typo3/sysext/install/mod/class.tx_install.php
on line 2458

Running:  
apt-cache policy libpng-dev libgd2 php4-gd php4-gd2
 
returns the following and shows me that php4-gd2 is not installed

libpng-dev:
  Installed: 1.2.1-1.1.woody.9

Running:
# apt-get install php4-gd2

Returns the following.

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  php4-gd2: Depends: zendapi-20010901
E: Sorry, broken packages

zendapi-20010901 is a virtual package, and I can't install it.  On a
side note I have libpng2 installed as well, but I can't get rid of it
without taking out about 20 dependencies.  Any help is much
appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris
