I tried to install opera by downloading the .deb
file from opera website. Running sudo dpkg -i opera-stable_44.0.2510.1218_amd64
gave the following results:
[sudo] password for user1:

Errors were encountered while processing:

Opera is currently not available in Ubuntu software store or in Software Boutique. I also tried older opera-stable_44.0.2510.857_amd64.deb
and got similar results. I downloaded the package twice thinking it might be any download error but same result.
