Package ‘libpng12-0’ has no installation candidate Ubuntu 18.0.4

Today I face an issue in my Ubuntu 18.0.4 environment when I was trying to install wkhtmltopdf. I was getting below error while installing wkhtmlpdf,

dpkg: error processing package wkhtmltox (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 wkhtmltox

Actually few dependencies were missing in my installation. So I started installing them one by one. Then while installing libpng12-0 using below command,

apt install libpng12-0

I was getting below error,

E: Package 'libpng12-0' has no installation candidate

So in order to install libpng12-0 library, I followed below steps,

• 1) Download libpng12-0 depending on your system arch (32 or 64 bit) –

# For 64-bit - Linux (Ubuntu Trusty) - Ubuntu 18.0.4

sudo wget http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb

• Then install the downloaded package using below command,

sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb

This is how I have successfully installed this package.

We would love the hear your thoughts, suggestions, and questions in the comments below !!
