Kompozer – Unable to Install Kompozer in Ubuntu 16.04

16.04kompozersoftware installation

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  
Reading package lists... Done

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.

Best Answer

Install the same packages you tried to install before except for libidl0. Open the terminal and type:
