RStudio install on Ubuntu 16.10 fails due to libgstreamer
<p>EDIT: According to Jonathan of RStudio a new version doesn't need libgstreamer. See his post below for the relevant link.</p>

<p>RStudio won't install on Ubuntu 16.10 as key software inputs - libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36-1.5_amd64.deb - can't be installed. It seems to be obsolete, the system refuses to install it, and I'm unable to find an alternative.</p>

<p>There are suggestions to install the missing software alongside libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.36-2_amd64.deb, but only the latter works on my system. I tried apt-get to download it directly, and also got the package for use with dpkg or gdebi. The Ubuntu Software GUI doesn't seem useful, as it doesn't install despite giving no error message.</p>

<p>As the answers provided are insufficient in my case, the issues still appears to be unresolved for some of us.</p>
