Solution 1:[1]

If you check you log you will see this error:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mongodb-compass:

mongodb-compass depends on libgconf-2-4; however: Package

libgconf-2-4 is not installed.

So install libgconf-2-4.

apt-get install libgconf-2-4

Solution 2:[2]

In case there are multiple missing packages

sudo apt install ...

will be tedious. After running

sudo dpkg -i <package-name>

and getting dependency problems error you can run

sudo apt --fix-broken install

which will install all missing dependencies and after that running

sudo dpkg -i <package-name>

will install your needed package.

Solution 3:[3]

Use sudo apt install -f and then sudo dpkg -i <your file.deb>

Solution 4:[4]

Run the following commands:-

sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4
sudo dpkg -i <<your deb package name .deb>>
