Public bug reported: I'm trying to install libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb on Ubuntu Mate 19.04. This is to satisfy the really old printer SW from Canon :(. It was possible to install on this HW with 18.10 in early April, and it was OK after upgrade to 19.04. Now that I'm doing a fresh install of 19.04 I get this error: "dpkg: fel vid hantering av arkivet libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb (--install): kunde inte installera ny version av "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0": Filen eller katalogen finns inte" Or in English: "could not install new version of "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0": the file or directory is missing".
But the directory is there: $ ls -l /lib/ | grep x86 drwxr-xr-x 106 root root 81920 jul 6 12:55 x86_64-linux-gnu and I also downloaded the .deb file again, in case some odd file corruption had occurred. ** Affects: libpng (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libpng in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835610 Title: Weird error when installing libpng12-0_1.2.54 on Disco Status in libpng package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm trying to install libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb on Ubuntu Mate 19.04.
