I'm trying to install png2ico because the instructions in INSTALL for kdiff3 say to install it.

pngg2ico was remove as it is no longer required by extra cmake modules. Why are you trying to install it? For boost update your craft and you'll get the latest boost.

I edited my local version.ini to be
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[General]
tags =
branches =
tarballs = 1.67.0;1.69.0;1.71.0;1.76.0
defaulttarget = 1.76.0
# new download site for boost. .7z is the most compact form
# .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, and .zip also available
tarballUrl = https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/${VERSION}/source/boost_${VERSION_MAJOR}_${VERSION_MINOR}_${VERSION_PATCH_LEVEL}.7z<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/$*7BVERSION*7D/source/boost_$*7BVERSION_MAJOR*7D_$*7BVERSION_MINOR*7D_$*7BVERSION_PATCH_LEVEL*7D.7z__;JSUlJSUlJSU!!LQC6Cpwp!9a5qxztMMV7h4hWhIywtdUhYlZ3Zy0A_GcOpCGI_dBRShywmhVOKyiH6VTW2IXRUM0w$>

and deleted version-1_67.ini.

And tried to follow the instructions in kdiff3's INSTALL.

craft png2ico failed:
   Failed to find png2ico:
   Craft was unable to find png2ico

But craft kdiff3 said it succeeded.  The program runs, though there are some weird blank entries displayed on the difference report.
Also, version.ini has been reverted to the master branch and version-1_67.ini restored; I made my changes on a different branch.  It's odd: the build transcripts only show boost 1.76 being downloaded and built.

There is no sign of my existing boost library being used.
