I use Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit. When I run
sudo apt-get install libpng-dev
the console prints
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libpng12-dev' instead of 'libpng-dev'
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:
libpng12-dev : Depends: libpng12-0 (= 1.2.51-0ubuntu3) but 1.2.51-0ubuntu3.15.10.2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
At first I tried installing libpng-dev in the Software Center, but it crashed when it tried installing libpng-dev. Then I googled, tried
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -f libpng-dev
but this didn't help. Maybe I should just reinstall Ubuntu? I'd have no problem with that, would just take me about an hour.
$ apt-cache policy libpng12-dev
prints
libpng12-dev:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.2.51-0ubuntu3

$ apt-cache policy libpng12-0
prints
libpng12-0:

You've manually installed some other build of libpng12-0
it appears. You need to sudo apt-get install --reinstall libpng12-0=1.2.51-0ubuntu3
and then you will be able to install libpng-dev
.
