On April 8, 2003 I e-mailed the maintainer (des@freebsd.org) of the native Opera port to report an error in the port for Opera 6.11. I asked him to check for the same error in the port for Opera 6.12. The check requires typing one ldd command. I never got an answer to my e-mail. On June 13, 2003 I e-mailed the maintainer again to report that both the linux-opera 6.12 and the opera 6.12 ports have the same error I reported in opera 6.11 on April 8. The maintainer has not fixed either error. The error is the same in both ports: there is an erroneous dependency upon libpng.so. Both linux-opera and opera are statically linked with libpng: libpng.so is not required. I understand that there is a policy that if the port maintainer does not maintain the port, one can ask here for someone else to maintain the port. Since it has now been over 2 1/2 months since I first contacted the port maintainer, can someone else please fix this error in linux-opera and opera, so that users will not be installing unneeded support software? Thanks. P.S. The fix requires deleting one line each from two Makefiles.
