After an upgrade-in-place from 16.04.4 Gnome to 18.04 I discovered that Corel AfterShot Pro 2 (previously installed and running in 16.04) would no longer start.
How can I fix this?

@Seth For this exact software since at least Ubuntu 13.10 as it seems – didn't know that either.– dessertApr 30, 2018 at 19:20

The solution turned out to be a re-install of three dependencies. Apparently they get eliminated in the course of the upgrade.
See this page from Corel:
Problem: Installation of AfterShot Pro fails on Ubuntu 16.10, it is recommended you follow the steps from the workaround below:
Cause: Some of the libraries are not available in the new version of the operating system.
Workaround:
Manually install libraries before installing AfterShot Pro
- Reboot system to ensure all previous attempts to install the software are terminated.
- Download and install the libraries, in the same order specified below:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/libpng12-0/download http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/libgstreamer0.10-0/download http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0/download
- Proceed to the installation of AfterShot Pro
AfterShot Pro will install successfully.
I was asked to re-write my posting as a question and answer.
How do I get AfterShot Pro to run after upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?
