libgnomecanvas @2.30.2 build fails due to missing libpng12

When I try to install libgnomecanvas I get the following error (line breaks added for readability):

This is a bit perplexing since you'll notice that the command is asking for libpng14 which does exist. Perhaps there's a problem with libtool. By creating "png12" symlinks to the libpng14.* files I was able to work around this error.

Remove the symlinks you created, please.

libpng14 should exist. libpng12 should not anymore. Something on your system is still linked with libpng12. You need to locate and rebuild it.

done!

The end result I was hoping for was to install ggv. After a 'port upgrade outdated' the problem persisted. I was able to locate the offending packages with 'grep -iIrn libpng12 /opt/local/lib/*'. I ended up having to uninstall ggv, libgnomeui, libbonoboui, libgnomeprintui, libgnomecanvas, libgnome-keyring, and gnome-keyring. Then I was able to re-install ggv which installed all the above packages as dependencies.

It's not really clear what was going on here, but everything using libpng has long since been updated, so I'm closing this ticket.
