Hi,

We have discovered that a poorly craft patch for a security fix in lcms 1.17 
(as far as I know distribution including the fix are Fedora Core, OpenSuse and 
Ubuntu) trigger a major issue in krita (it breaks loading of nearly all .kra 
files), the recently released 1.18 doesn't have, either the security issue, nor 
the problem, since even if we were to write a better patch for lcms, it is now 
impossible to be certain that the installed lcms 1.17 isn't contaminated.

Which means that in a week, we will have to up the requirement for both branch 
and trunk to lcms 1.18.
