I tried using sudo apt-get -f install. After using it, I attempted sudo dkpg -i googleplaydownloader_1.7-1_all.deb once more. Yet, I got some errors as in the following.

Update 1:

I have downloaded python-ndg-httpclient from here. I tried installing it with this command: sudo dpkg -i python-ndg-httpsclient_0.3.2-1_all.deb. This time I have encountered with another set of dependency problem. And I wonder how long it will go! The following are the errors.

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of python-ndg-httpsclient:
python-ndg-httpsclient depends on python-support (>= 0.90.0); however:
Package python-support is not installed.

Bottom Up!

1. python-ndg-httpsclient depends on python-support

   • download it: http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/all/python-support/download
   • install it: sudo dpkg -i python-support.deb

2. googleplaydownloader depends on python-ndg-httpsclient

   • download it : http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-ndg-httpsclient
   • install it : sudo dpkg -i python-ndg-httpsclient.deb

3. googleplaydownloader finally

   • you have downloaded it already
   • install it now: sudo dpkg -i googleplaydownloader_1.7-1_all.deb

Thats It and Thumbs Up :)

Execute following command in terminal

sudo apt-get install python-configparser python-protobuf python-pyasn1

Then install python-ndg-httpsclient which you have downloaded and then googleplaydownloader_1.7-1_all.deb using sudo dpkg -i x.deb where x=package name
