dpkg fails while setting up android-studio

[schildbach]

This is on Ubunu 15.04, 64 bit:

$ sudo apt-get install android-studio

[...]

Setting up android-studio (4.8.3-ubuntu0) ...

It seems that /opt/android-studio/ doesn't exists... Try to run:

sudo mkdir /opt/android-studio/

This should fix the issue.

sudo apt-get purge android-studio; sudo apt-get install android studio.... this should fix your problem...

I got a similar error when installing on a brand new Ubuntu 14.04 Digital Ocean server. To work around the error I ran similar to what @PaoloRotolo said: sudo /opt

This has allowed sudo apt-get install android-studio to finish without error (though I haven't yet confirmed it runs).

Seems like some distros don't come with a /opt folder, and the post-install scripts in the ppa expects the folder to exists.
