Solved: Cannot install RStudio Server Pro on Ubuntu Linux 18.04

Unfortunately this post is closed without solution due to inactivity (@rstudio, please keep such posts open longer!). We had the same issue and I would like to post our solution.

In our case f-secure was running which prevented installation, even though we were running as root.

We first stopped the f-secure services

sudo service fsaua stop
sudo service fsma stop

after that the command

sudo gdebi rstudio-server-pro-1.1.463-amd64.deb

ran as expected
