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.

Installation proposed for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common &&
sudo apt-add-repository -y "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main" &&
sudo apt-get -yq update &&
sudo apt-get install -y libxrender1 libfontconfig1 libx11-dev libjpeg62 libxtst6

wget "https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6-1/wkhtmltox_0.12.6-1.focal_amd64.deb" &&
sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.6-1.focal_amd64.deb &&
sudo apt-get -f install

--> libpng12.0 removed as it is no more supported by ubuntu
--> use wkhtmltopdf 0.12.6-1 (more recent)

Worked from the first try for Ubuntu 22.04
Thank you very much !
