[arch-dev-public] Some PNG images won't work with libpng 1.6

[Rashif Ray Rahman]

Tentatively, should we just run the fixer for the affected packages
and push them to testing (so visuals don't break all of a sudden after
updates)? Whether the maintainer says anything or not, we're gonna
have to move stuff out from testing anyway.

Thanks for taking the trouble to look into this.
