It looks like you need to install libssl1.0.0 >=.

We support the Ubuntu LTS releases, e.g., 16.04 and 18.04, but not 17.04, 18.10, 19.04 (which is not released yet).

Debian 10 is a testing version, and I would expect support to be forthcoming in the 1.2 or later release, but defer to a member of the IDE team for the truth.

I think you might have more luck with the Debian 9 compatible release (it has stretch in the filename, not xenial). Can you try that one?

Hi

depends on libssl1.0.0 | libssl1.0.2

means depends on 1.0.0 or 1.0.2, not any greater version. Debian 10 and later has only 1.1.

Package libssl1.0.2 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

Yes I have running computer lab deployments with Debian 9 running the "xenial" version of RStudio.
I am reporting for the devs to know that the upcoming Debian/Ubuntu releases will not install that version.
They will be released in a few months (starting with Ubuntu 19.04 in April 2019).

I could not log in support.rstudio.com for the last 2 days to report it there (firefox or chrome).
chrome says: rstudioide.zendesk.com refused to connect.

My mistake. Sorry about that.
