Answer 1

Try sudo apt-get install gdebi-core and then sudo gdebi rstudio-1.2.5042-amd64.deb. gdebi will install the dependencies automatically for you.

There is another way with apt if you don't want to install gdebi; I believe the syntax is sudo apt install ./rstudio-1.2.5042-amd64.deb.

Alternatively, if you already forced dpkg to install the package, you can run sudo apt-get --fix-broken install to install the dependencies.

Try install version rstudio-xenial-1.1.456-amd64.deb in
