Answer 1

Following a guide on Upgrading to dotnet core 2.1.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 resolved this issue on my end:

First, Setup the package manager.

$ curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor > microsoft.gpg

$ sudo mv microsoft.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.gpg

$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/microsoft-ubuntu-xenial-prod xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'

$ sudo apt-get update

Next, Install .NET Core 2.x

$ sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.1.4

Answer 2

I have fixed my own issue following these below steps:

wget -q packages-microsoft-prod.deb https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/16.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb

sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb

sudo apt-get update –y

sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.1.101

Answer 3

For me previous didn't help.

But for me worked the next:

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/icu/libicu57_57.1-6+deb9u2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libicu57_57.1-6+deb9u2_amd64.deb 

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu60_60.2-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libicu60_60.2-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.1

I don't quite understand did I need 2 versions of libicu, but after 1st it required the 2nd one.
