This question is not specific to the beta version as such - there is still no such package in 18.04. – Zanna Aug 20 '18 at 09:42

Voting to reopen - 18.04 is no longer pre-release, the question is still valid, and a trickle of users continue to encounter this. – user535733 Aug 26 '18 at 12:44

The package libpng12-dev was dropped after 16.04. It's been gone a long time.
Try libpng-dev.

Thank you! I am not an Ubuntu expert and found it here: https://www.learnopencv.com/install-opencv3-on-ubuntu/ – user3486308 Jan 03 '18 at 04:24

If the above solution did not work try doing then reinstall the libpng-dev:
apt upgrade && apt-get install apt-utils
