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?

This question is not specific to the beta version as such - there is still no such package in 18.04.– Zanna ♦Commented Aug 20, 2018 at 9:42

Voting to reopen - 18.04 is no longer pre-release, the question is still valid, and a trickle of users continue to encounter this.– user535733Commented Aug 26, 2018 at 12:44

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

Thank you! I am not an Ubuntu expert and found it here: learnopencv.com/install-opencv3-on-ubuntu Commented Jan 3, 2018 at 4:24
If the above solution did not work try doing then reinstall the libpng-dev:
apt upgrade && apt-get install apt-utils
