ubuntu install doesn't work

on 16.04 LTS, this is what I get when I try to install:

$ sudo dpkg -i keybase_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 222874 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack keybase_amd64.deb ...

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of keybase:
 keybase depends on libappindicator1; however:
  Package libappindicator1 is not installed.

... tried adding http://dist.keybase.io/linux/deb/repo to sources list, but that gave me an old version of keybase that breaks as described in issue 5401

also tried:

$ sudo apt install libappindicator1

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libappindicator1 : Depends: libindicator7 (>= 0.4.90) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Start by reproducing the dpkg installation on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using the commands and keybase_amd64.deb version shown in the report. Inspect the package dependencies involving libappindicator1 and libindicator7; the issue is done when the current package installs and configures successfully without apt removing keybase.
