Failed to install . deb on Ubuntu

I downloaded a file. deb directly from the official website (Astah Community installer), and after the download was completed I double-clicked on the file.

The screen of Ubuntu Software was opened (as we can see in the image at the end) and I had installed by clicking the button Install.

After that, the installation process simply did not end. Another software that I was installing (and that had been started before) worked perfectly, but Astah Community did not.

The problem it brought me is that now I can’t make one upgrade with the apt, since I am informed that the astah-community package needs to be reinstalled.

E: O pacote astah-community precisa ser reinstalado, mas não foi possível
encontrar um arquivo para o mesmo.

I re-downloaded . deb and tried to install again. Only now the process doesn’t even start anymore.

How do I fix this? For me it either "finalize" the installation of Astah or remove it at once, so that the apt get back to work.

NOTE: I am using Ubuntu 16.04

    Try installing via terminal: sudo dpkg -i package.deb

    Try to rotate a apt-get -f install

  • What is this parameter -f ago?

  • @L.WD it fixes broken packages.

  • Thank you so much for the comments. I managed to solve the problems.

  • Despite being about an UML software and having some connection with the scope, it is still more for off-topic, because the problem is more for Ubuntu and not for "software does not work", for this reason I am voting to close.

I followed the suggestions sent by comments and managed to resolve.

I did the installation using sudo dpkg -i pacote.deb and Astah worked perfectly. The interesting thing is that, when making the installation using this command, I visualized a text (possibly the "contract" of use of the software) that before (by Ubuntu Software) I did not see.

After installation, I used sudo apt-get -f install (command that was also suggested to me by comment) and finished the repairs. I can now use the apt upgrade, that before could not.

Thank you very much for the comments/help.
