            Bug ID: 117381
           Summary: libpng12 required, but not available on Ubuntu 17.10
                    and 18.04
           Product: LibreOffice Online
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: bert...@ruetzler.net

Following the instructions on https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/ I tried to
install CODE on Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) via the packages for Linux
distros:

# import the signing key
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0C54D189F4BA284D
# add the repository URL to /etc/apt/sources.list
echo 'deb https://www.collaboraoffice.com/repos/CollaboraOnline/CODE ./' >>
/etc/apt/sources.list
# perform the installation
apt-get update && apt-get install loolwsd code-brand

However, the installation failed with the following error:

root@asdf:~# apt-get install loolwsd code-brand
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 loolwsd : Depends: libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
root@asdf:~#

libpng12 is not available on Ubuntu 18.04 any more (and what I've read so far
it already got dumped at 17.10 - so the problem might exist there as well)...

As a workaround I got code running by downloading the package from the 16.04
sources and installing it manually:

wget
http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
