dependencies - How to Install Packages has no installation candidate

My overall goal is to install rstudio. I have already installed r-base and r-base-dev. I am currently using Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety


When I try to use:


sudo dpkg -i rstudio-1.0.44-amd64.deb  b

I get the error:


You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
rstudio : Depends: libgstreamer0.10-0 but it is not installable
Depends: libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 but it is not installable

Trying sudo apt-get install -f does not install the packages.


Trying to directly install the packages returns this error:


 Package libgstreamer0.10-0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libgstreamer0.10-0' has no installation candidate

When I try searching Google for this package, I find a number of results like this:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/yakkety/amd64/libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/yakkety/amd64/libgstreamer0.10-0


These links show that the current status of this file is "deleted."


My question is, what should I do when I encounter this situation? Should I report this a bug? Download an older version of the package?
