To get the latest wkhtmltopdf & wkhtmltoimage installed on Debian 10 / Ubuntu 20.04/18.04 Linux, you'll need to manually download and install from the . deb package. These tools run entirely “headless” and do not require a display or display service.
deb sudo apt-get install -f sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin apt-get install -f will install the missing dependencies, which are shown as errors by the dpkg command. You can find other builds for wkhtmltopdf 0.12.
The patched version of wkhtmltopdf is not present in the Ubuntu repository. You can download it from the project website if you want. But they still don't have a .deb file for Xenial Xerus, so you need to download the binary file and install the dependencies (libxrender1 fontconfig xvfb) manually.
Here is a script that installs the patched version from the project website:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libxrender1 fontconfig xvfb
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz -P /tmp/
cd /opt/
sudo tar xf /tmp/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
sudo ln -s /opt/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
Edit [16/06/2017]: wkhtmltopdf releases were moved to GitHub due to instability of their servers. I've updated my answer to provide the right path to download the latest release.

For version 0.12.4 (latest on 15 Jan 2017)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libxrender1 fontconfig xvfb
wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz -P /tmp/
cd /opt/
sudo tar xf /tmp/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
sudo ln -s /opt/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf
I ran @matheus-marchini's script to install the patched version a while back and just came back to get the instructions again - however, I discovered that in the interim, the hosting site Gna! has shut down. After a little search, I was able to replace the link directly from the source, updating the command as follows:
wget https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.3/wkhtmltox-0.12.3_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz -P /tmp/
If you want the most recent version (per @afzal-hossain's answer), it would be:
wget https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz -P /tmp/
I would have written this as a comment instead of as an "answer" but I do not have enough reputation yet to do that. Hope this helps someone else!
