 since gdk-pixbuf2 was updated to 2.36.3 needs to be revbumped now. And
 upstream should be asked not to do that again.

 own this bug and fix it on their end.

 The problem is not that the compatibility version has regressed but that
 it was accidentally advanced.  All versions of 2.36 are actually ABI
 compatible (other than the compatibility version).

 The problem was introduced in gdk-pixbuf2 2.36.2 and fixed as you say in
 2.36.3+ so only ports that linked against 2.36.2 when last
 installed/updated are effected.   So  everything that links with gdk-
 pixbuf2 is overkill.  And restoring the error seems to be counter
 productive.

 I've already revbumped the problem ports that I've run across so far,
 particular those that have binary archives linked against 2.36.2 and will
 do so with others as they become apparent.  Making a list now of any ports
 that may remain.  That is, those that were updated when 2.36.2 was active
 and have not yet been revbumped.  I think hat should be sufficient.

 Let me know if you have any further suggestions or candidates.
