I'm run this command to unpackage the argos3 simulator package in Ubuntu in Windows10

sudo dpkg -i argos3_simulator-3.0.0-i686-beta52.deb

and I'm getting this error

How do I fix this?

You're using the wrong command to install the package.

The dpkg command is not a fully-featured package manager. It doesn't automatically install missing dependencies. It simply installs or removes the package that you told it to install or remove...and nothing else. It refuses to work if dependencies are missing. Once you have installed all those dependencies, then dpkg will do exactly what you told it to do.

The apt package manager will automagically install dependencies in the correct order, then install the package you want. It will download the correct packages, then instruct dpkg to install them in the correct order. Apt is wonderful.

Try sudo apt install ./argos3_simulator-3.0.0-i686-beta52.deb
