  • This seems like a bug in crossover's installer (requires an obsolete package), not a problem with Ubuntu.

  • Which version of Ubuntu are you using? Which version of CrossOver are you trying to install? Did you try to install the most recent version?

  • If you got the mosr recent .deb ( wget http://crossover.codeweavers.com/redirect/crossover.deb ) then just install it with apt i.e sudo apt install /path/to/crossover.deb It will install fine on 16.04 thru 18.04 as the dependency is " libpng12-0 | libpng16-16"

  • Reviewers: This question is not about a bug in CrossOver because there isn't a bug in CrossOver. The old version of CrossOver was looking for an older version of PNG library - runtime, but the package maintainer's version of PNG library - runtime also works for this version of CrossOver.

The proposed solution described above didn't work for me on Ubuntu 19.04 with Cisco PacketTracer 7.2.2:

./PacketTracer7: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0: version `PNG12_0' not found (required by ./libQt5WebKit.so.5)
./PacketTracer7: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0: version `PNG12_0' not found (required by ./libQt5Gui.so.5)

What did work for me was:

  • download the libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb package
  • manually extract it: dpkg -x libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb libpng
  • copy the library to the PacketTracer bin directory like so: cp libpng12/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0.54.0 /opt/pt/bin
  • create a symlink: ln -s /opt/pt/bin/libpng12.so.0.54.0 /opt/pt/bin/libpng12.so.0
  • PROFIT

Not sure why Cisco provides all the required libs in the /opt/pt/bin like Qt and such, but somehow 'forgot' to include the older libpng12 lib...

PNG library - runtime has been upgraded from libpng12-0 to libpng16-16 in Ubuntu 18.04 and later (at least up to 19.10). To install it open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install libpng16-16

Create a symbolic link at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 which references to file /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16

sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0

  • The last part of this instruction seems a bit confusing to me. It would be sufficient to run sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 I think - no need for any copying and renaming.
