Kali linux failed to get libpng12 (libpng12.so.0': No such file or directory) [on hold]

[awesomeman]

Hello,
I want to install gnome-screenshot but +I have some problems to install libpng12-0 on kali linux.

root@kali:/tmp# apt install gnome-screenshot
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 : Depends: libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
root@kali:/tmp# apt --fix-broken install
The following additional packages will be installed:
  libpng12-0
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libpng12-0
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
7 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0 B/172 kB of archives.
After this operation, 273 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

I already check this link : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...stalling-teens

But it doesn't solve anything for me. Here is some information about my version:

any ideas ?


Thanks a lot

You probably did something wrong along the way, because it installs just fine. I suggest you reinstall Kali.

By the way, using external packages or other repositories will break your system sooner or later.

One last thing, make sure to update your system: apt update && apt dist-upgrade

Hi
I have resolved this issue by upgrading my Kali Linux, hope it also works for you follow the below steps:-
1: #gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
2: paste this into your sources.list and save it
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
3:#apt update && apt -y full-upgrade
its take some time to upgrade your Kali Linux to its latest version

Thanks

Hello!
I am struggling the same problem about installing libpng12-0 and Packet Tracer 7.2.2 on Kali Linux 2019.4 despite all tutorials I followed.
The situation is something like : unable to install new version of '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0': No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).
What to do because I really want to use Packet Tracer!
