Installing libpng12-0 solves the issue so maybe it should be a dependency.
I'm not sure if there is anything to fix here. The packages does not contain a fixed dependency but a "Recommendation", which should have the same effect (unless someone explicitly wants to uninstall it).
It would be interesting to know how exactly you ended up with an installation which lacks libpng12-0. Did you disable automatic installation of recommendations? Did you manually uninstall it afterwards to clean up disk space?
