Unable to install Kompozer in Ubuntu 16.04
I got the following error message when trying to install Kompozer in Ubuntu 16.04.
saraswati@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libidl0 libnspr4 libnss3 libpango1.0-0 libpng12-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libxft2 libxinerama1 libxrender1 libxt6 zlib1g

Package libidl0 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
However the following packages replace it:
libidl-2-0:i386 libidl-2-0
E: Package 'libidl0' has no installation candidate
Please help me to sort out this problem.
Install the same packages you tried to install before except for libidl0. Open the terminal and type:
Ubuntu 16.04
sudo apt install libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libnspr4 libnss3 libpango1.0-0 libstdc++-5-dev libx11-6 libxft2 libxinerama1 libxrender1 libxt6 zlib1g
