I'm trying to install the port linux-opera on my 4.3-stable computer,
but I'm having some problems. One of the dependencies is linux-png
and it fails every time I try to install.

root@bilbo:/usr/ports/graphics/linux-png# make install

I've tried 'rpm --rebuilddb /compat/linux/var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm'
(had to do 'rpm --initdb /compat/linux/var/lib/rpm/' before rebuilddb
worked) without results. So, what should I do?
