Hello everyone,

i bought all 4 Deponia games. Game 1 to 3 work on Linux without any issues, but Doomsday wont start giving me the following error:

./Deponia4: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried two linux distros. 1) Linux Mint 20.1 64 bit and 2) Arch Linux 64 bit (Batocera 34)

Update: 3) Manjaro 21 64 bit same error ... I get the feeling the build is broken.

All my other GOG Linux games work flawlessly. Any idea?

Regards

I found this statement:

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 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.

Putting a libpng12.so.0 in the libs64 folder of the game solved the problem.

Thanks man
