Hi,
I'm running Buster (testing), and trying to set up the SP Flash
Tool. I downloaded the archive
(https://spflashtools.com/linux/sp-flash-tool-v5-1828-for-linux)
and unzipped it (it doesn't require installation), but when I
try to start the program I'm informed:
error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
OK, but apt says:
root@debian-nitpicking:/etc/udev/rules.d# apt-get install libpng12-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libpng12-dev is not available, but is referred to by
another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libpng12-dev' has no installation candidate
root@debian-nitpicking:/etc/udev/rules.d# apt-get install libpng12-0
Reading package lists... Done

Package libpng12-0 is not available, but is referred to by another
package.

OK ... I did search for and find others who had this problem, but
they all boiled down to "The package is not available for your
distro version."
So would I have to build from source? Any other ideas?
(Yo, Mediatek--stop requiring old libraries unless you build
static!)
Thanks.
