The libpng15-32bit library does not install any headers; it uses those
of libpng15, which are the same ones. I can change this to a Conflicts,
and adding the same headers again, if you think that's better. (The only
thing where the two might possibly lead to a build error at the moment
is by having both shlibs installed at the same time, which can't be
uninstalled per Fink policy since they might have dependencies.)

I'm wondering: is your problem with this situation that the package
installs into %p/lib32 or is the problem that it fails validation? I
knew it failed validation, but considered it to be OK since I explicitly
mentioned lib32 in response to a question from you once (don't remember
if it was IRC or a mailing list, but we talked about this), and IIRC you
seemed to agree with the solution (even though I probably didn't mention
what the validator thought). However, if %p/lib32 is OK by your
standards, but failing validation is not, what meaning does the
validation failure still have?

Either way: would you consider the best solution in this case be to a)
patch the validator, b) change the installation directory, or c) offer
my sincere apologies for not fully informing you beforehand?
