==> Caveats
Cask wkhtmltopdf installs files under /usr/local. The presence of such
files can cause warnings when running brew doctor, which is considered
to be a bug in Homebrew Cask.

==> Downloading https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.5/wkhtmltox-0.12.5-1

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.
HTTPS-proxy has similar options --proxy-cacert and --proxy-insecure.
Error: Download failed on Cask 'wkhtmltopdf' with message: Download failed: https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.5/wkhtmltox-0.12.5-1.macos-cocoa.pkg

After latest mac os update it would not install with the following error:
Cask 'wkhtmltopdf' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists

Thank you! Works very well! clap

Ubuntu 19.10 -
Package libpng12-0 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
E: Package 'libpng12-0' has no installation candidate

You have to exclude "libpng12-0" from the list to get past this first error, then it will fail on missing wkhtmltox requirement.
