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 Building dependency tree... Reading state information... 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.

kompozer is a native snap package in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu. This snap package preserves the last available version of KompoZer from 2010, and allows KompoZer to be used on modern operating systems. KompoZer can be installed from the Software app or from the terminal with the following command:
sudo snap install kompozer The kompozer snap packager was not in the Snap Store when Ubuntu 16.04 was a supported release, so this was how to install KompoZer in Ubuntu 16.04 instead. 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 32-Bit:

Problem on sudo dpkg -i libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb:
john@Laptop:~/Software/Kompozer$ sudo dpkg -i libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb [sudo] password for john: Selecting previously unselected package libidl0:amd64.

sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get remove libidl-2-0 sudo dpkg -i libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb and then as before.
Problem referred to in my Comment on not working for 16.04 has been rectified in 18.04. However, on new installation of 18.04, am now getting:
john@JohnPC:~/Software/Kompozer$ sudo dpkg -i kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb Selecting previously unselected package kompozer.

Errors were encountered while processing: kompozer This error is rectified by:
sudo apt install libpango1.0-0 followed by:
sudo dpkg -i kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb As of June 2020, you can install Kompozer on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (32-bit) with the following steps:
Step 1
Open a terminal and enter this command to install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libfontconfig1 \ libfreetype6 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libidl-2-0 \ libnspr4 libnss3 libpango1.0-0 libpng12-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libxft2 \ libxinerama1 libxrender1 libxt6 zlib1g Step 2
For 32-bit systems:
wget wget sudo dpkg -i kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_all.deb sudo dpkg -i kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_i386.deb For 64-bit systems:
wget wget sudo dpkg -i kompozer-data_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_all.deb sudo dpkg -i kompozer_0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb Kompozer should now be properly installed!
