RStudio 1.5.1 on Ubuntu 18.10 -- "cannot execute binary file: Exec format error"

I just tried upgrading RStudio to 1.2.5 on Ubuntu 18.10. I downloaded the .deb file from

https://download1.rstudio.org/desktop/bionic/amd64/rstudio-1.2.5001-amd64.deb

Then I run sudo gdebi rstudio-1.2.5001-amd64.deb

The installation completes with no errors. But I get a strange error when trying to start rstudio:

bash: /usr/bin/rstudio: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

(base) balter@spectre:~$ sudo gdebi rstudio-1.2.5001-amd64.deb
