I'm a bit surprised by that. The gs-6.0.1 port didn't fetch png for me, and I have libpng-1.0.3 installed. > Now I have the two packages listed by pkg_info.

If it doesn't hurt you, you could leave it like that... or if you want to clean it up, one way is to forcibly delete both and then install png-1.0.6 only. The packages which depended on png-1.0.5 may not recognise the dependency now, but I don't think that's a problem unless you plan to remove libpng sometime. R.
