When I upgraded my (k)ubuntu system to 16.10, and re-installed nScope, it was failing to start up with this error:
$ nScope
nScope: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
You can't install libpng12 from the ubuntu16.10 (Yakkety) repos - because libpng 1.2 is quite old and really isn't supported anymore (see http://libpng.sourceforge.net/).
Do we know if this archive is making updates to libpng12 if there are security bugs? It's not a great idea to continue to depend on unsupported software.

The workaround is pull the old version from old builds and manually install - see eg:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/838949/ubuntu-16-10-teamvieweri386-depends-on-libpng12-0
wget http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
nScope should be rebuilt to use libpng 1.6, which is the most up-to-date version.
