Hello,

On ubuntu 16 I can successfully install ntopng:

apt-cache policy ntopng
ntopng:
   Installed: 3.4.180511-4407
   Candidate: 3.4.180511-4407
   Version table:
  *** 3.4.180511-4407 500
         500 http://packages.ntop.org/apt-stable/16.04 x64/ Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
      2.2+dfsg1-1build1 500
         500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 
Packages

apt-cache policy pfring

pfring:
   Installed: 7.0.0-1927
   Candidate: 7.0.0-1927
   Version table:
  *** 7.0.0-1927 500
         500 http://packages.ntop.org/apt-stable/16.04 x64/ Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


ntopng depends on pfring 7.0.0-1927, not on 7.0.0-1887 . Please check if 
you have pinned the ntopng/pf_ring packages.
