The tool for merging two versions of a file is merge, but as wrote, you need the "base" file from which your two versions diverged.

DIFFMERGE LINUX PATCH
You don't need patch for this it's for extracting changes and sending them on without the unchanged part of the file. I want to apply this task inside a bash script, so it must not nessesarily need to get done with diff and patch, if another programm is a better fit if a line has the same name tag but a different value, take the value from the second.

DIFFMERGE LINUX HOW TO
This error will no longer happen with the version from the PPA.I have read about diff and patch but I can't figure out how to apply what I need. No apport report written because the error message indicates an issue on the local system
DIFFMERGE LINUX INSTALL
Unable to install new version of '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0': No such file or directory
DIFFMERGE LINUX ARCHIVE
So the DEB had to be repacked to get it to work on newer Ubuntu versions.Īs a result, when trying to install the old libpng12-0 package on Ubuntu (or Pop!_OS, etc.) 20.10, 20.04, 19.10 or 19.04, you'd get this error:ĭpkg: error processing archive libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_b (-unpack):
DIFFMERGE LINUX UPDATE
The reason this package needed an update for Ubuntu 20.10, 20.04, 19.10 and 19.04, is that with Ubuntu 19.04, the /lib directory is a symlink to /usr/lib (this was not the case with Ubuntu 18.04 and older), and this causes the libpng12-0 installation to fail, since this package tries to create a link from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 to /usr/lib, which is already a symlink. Or download the libpng12-0 DEB package from the PPA and install it manually (you only need the libpng12-0 DEB package, e.g. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/libpng12 Use these commands to add the PPA and install libpng12-0: To fix the issue on Ubuntu 20.10, 20.04 / Linux Mint 20, 19.10 or 19.04, you can install libpng by using a PPA I created with an updated libpng12-0 package. Install the libpng12-0 deb downloaded by using the link above, and you should be able to install and run applications that still depend on this library, in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or Ubuntu 18.10 / Linux Mint 19. On that page, scroll down to the Built files section and only download the libpng12-0 DEB package (e.g. To fix the issue on Ubuntu 18.04 / Linux Mint 19.* / Pop!_OS 18.04 / elementary OS 5 or 5.1, download the libpng12-0 package for your architecture (you only need one of these, specific for your Ubuntu / Linux Mint architecture): The fix: install and run applications that require libpng12-0 in Ubuntu 18.04, 19.10, 20.04 / Linux Mint 19.* or Ubuntu 20.10 Note that some apps can't be installed due to missing libpng12-0, while others simply fail to start.

Wps-office depends on libpng12-0 however:ĭpkg: error processing package wps-office (-install):ĭependency problems - leaving unconfigured ĭpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of wps-office: Preparing to unpack wps-office_10._a21_b. 354579 files and directories currently installed.) Selecting previously unselected package wps-office. Trying to install the same deb from a terminal results in the following libpng12-0 sudo dpkg -i wps-office_10._a21_b

Ubuntu Software simply fails to install WPS Office, without displaying any error message, so I opened the WPS Office deb with gdebi-gtk, which doesn't allow the deb to install, displaying this message: " Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libpng12-0": This issue is not new, since Ubuntu dropped libpng12 with version 16.10, but those whom are upgrading from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 LTS , as well as Linux Mint 19.* users, might not be aware of this and how to fix it. Libpng12 is no longer available in the Ubuntu repository archives and as a result, some applications that were not built with the newer libpng ( libpng16) library fail to install. This applies to any Ubuntu or Linux Mint flavor: Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie, Linux Mint Xfce, Linux Mint Cinnamon, etc., as well as Pop!_OS or elementary OS. In this article you'll find a very easy to apply fix that will allow installing and running applications that depend on libpng12-0 in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (or Linux Mint 19.*, which is based on Ubuntu 18.04), Ubuntu 19.10, 20.04 / Linux Mint 20, and Ubuntu 20.10.
