LDView on Ubuntu 16.04

[knobel-dk]

Hi there.

Thanks for making this repo available!

I am trying to run LDView on Ubuntu 16.04 (below in Docker to show that it is a clean install of Ubuntu):

docker run -it --rm ubuntu:16.04 /bin/bash
apt update -yqq && apt install -yqq curl unzip apt-utils
curl http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ldview/ldview-4.2-ubuntu-16.04.amd64.deb?download -L -o ldview-4.2-ubuntu-16.04.amd64.deb
dpkg -i ldview-4.2-ubuntu-16.04.amd64.deb
apt-get install -f

The last command terminates with this error: Errors were encountered while processing: ldview E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any ideas on how to mitigate this? Here is more of the trace:

This can be fixed by running apt install desktop-file-utils before installing LDView.
