At the suggestion of a kind person answering my question I followed the suggestion of going to the following: Here are the title, link and and the terminal output. Still unable to install Kompozer. The Software Updater was run and it reported that the software was up to date.

I would appreciate help: All I know is to follow the examples that I can find here. Thank You (October 3, 2016)

Listed below are the previous attempts to install KompoZer. The newest attempt of Oct 3, 2018 is listed above. Trying to install KompoZer on 18.04.1 and 16.04.4 following suggestions from askUbuntu: First downloaded and extracted kompozer-0.8b3.lt.gcc4-2-686.tar.gz. from SourceForge. Now needed to know how to install the extracted files. Here are: Link Question Answer and the Unsucessful terminal output On how to install kompozer on ubuntu after downloading How to install kompozer on xubuntu after downloading 1 Answer If you googled, you would have got this in first place. Any way here you go.

    sudo apt-get install libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libfontconfig1   libfreetype6 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0  libidl0 libnspr4 libnss3 libpango1.0-0 libpng12-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libxft2 libxinerama1 libxrender1 libxt6 zlib

And the unsucessful terminal output:

Package libidl0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

However the following packages replace it:  libidl-2-0

Here is another trial with askUbuntu: Link, Question, Answer and Unsuccessful terminal output

Unable to install Kompozer in Ubuntu 16.04 For briefity only the last lines of code shown, no errors returned on previous lines, but the last four lines gave errors and for briefity just one of them will be shown, more can be given 64-Bit:

sudo dpkg -i libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb  
sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb 

The terminal input/output entering the first sudo command these errors are encountered

sudo dpkg -i libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb

And to be sure this is a 64 bit program and a 64 bit machine: I would appreciate any help. Thank you


Thank you: I have poured over the link although I can't see how to use its content: Listed are every command I see.

sudo dpkg --configure -a
foo@foo:~$ sudo apt-get install -f
dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
sudo aptitude install <packagename>
sudo aptitude -f install <packagename>
sudo apt-get autoremove

I want to assured you I have looked at every line: 3rd through 5th are unfamilar to me and I don't understand how they may fix a broken package. Thank you

It looks like you tried to run an incorrect command that looks like this:

sudo apt install libx Unable to install Kompozer in Ubuntu 3 11-6

Instead of running a command that looks like this:

sudo apt install libx11-6  

Somehow or another you accidentally pasted the string Unable to install Kompozer in Ubuntu 3 in the middle of the command, so let's start over from the beginning and run the following commands in Ubuntu 18.04. For Ubuntu 16.04 go back to the same link that you mentioned in your question, and follow the instructions for installing KompoZer in 16.04 instead of 18.04.

sudo apt install libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libnspr4 libnss3 libpango1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libxft2 libxinerama1 libxrender1 libxt6 zlib1g  
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/kompozer-data_0.8%7Eb3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_all.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/kompozer_0.8%7Eb3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb  
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb 
sudo apt install ./libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb  
sudo apt install ./libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_all.deb
sudo apt install ./kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb   

Note that first you need to download libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb with wget before you can install it with sudo apt-get install ./package.deb

To start KompoZer, open the terminal and run kompozer.


Update

kompozer is a native snap package in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu. This snap package preserves the last available version of KompoZer from 2010, and allows KompoZer to be used on modern operating systems. KompoZer can be installed from the Software app or from the terminal with the following command:

sudo snap install kompozer

  • I am new to this, so I interpreted the command you suggested to download as "wget libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb" and that gave me --2018-10-01 15:45:01-- libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb Resolving libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb (libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb)... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address ‘libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb’ Oct 1, 2018 at 19:46
  • That's wrong. Ther correct command is wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb Make sure that each command is pasted correctly before you run it. The links to download the 4 files that should be downloaded by wget are all live and all 4 links work.

  • I have done that, Thank you. I have looked for a start icon in "show applications" and on the left hand tool bar. I have searched for kompozer. I will try it again. Again Thanks Oct 1, 2018 at 20:12
  • Errors were encountered while processing: kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb To my best I copied your corrected code line and then the 9 lines of code: I have the 64 bit Bionic Beaver 18.04.1 installed on an HP 8200, which is 64 bit. but I see errors that make me question the computer or the software package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386) This error shows up in a few of the returns from the entry of a line of code.

  • @Sunclock2018 I found an error in the last command which I fixed so it should work now.
