This is because libpng in current master has a ‘replacement’ field, and
since libpng-apng inherits from libpng, it also gets that replacement.

The fix is to write:

  (define-public libpng-apng
     (package
       (inherit libpng)
       (replacement #f)   ;libpng’s replacement doesn’t apply here
       …))

That said, please make sure the security issues fixed in ‘libpng/fixed’
are also fixed in libpng-apng!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
