Re: PPA breakage? (was Re: Inkscape hackfest in Pasadena)

Heya Alex,

I looked into this myself, the situation turned out to be a dependency
issue with libpng that is particular only to Xenial, and only occurring
on the trunk-daily PPA builds.  Essentially, trunk needs libpng16 now
but it has libpng12, and other stuff breaks if we try and force
libpng16.

We ended up just deciding that since Xenial is old, probably not worth
the trouble to keep it active in the PPA, so I dropped it from the PPA.

I got all the other PPA builds up to date.  The stable PPA is updated to
the 0.92.4 tag, and the stable-daily PPA had an invalid recipe so I
fixed that too.  Everything seems happily building packages.
