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.esudo apt install /path/to/crossover.debIt 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.

PNG library - runtime has been upgraded from libpng12-0 to libpng16-16 in Ubuntu 18.04 and later. 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 runsudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0I think - no need for any copying and renaming.
