I use Ubuntu 18.04 bionic and I get this error message when I try to install libpng12-dev package.

How can I solve it?

The package libpng12-dev was dropped after 16.04. It's been gone a long time.

Try libpng-dev.

If the above solution did not work try doing then reinstall the libpng-dev:

apt upgrade && apt-get install apt-utils
