Looks like libappindicator1 is available on 16.04:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libappindicator1

OP: what's the output of:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ dpkg -l | grep libappindicator
I have no idea what "Ubuntu Software" is doing, but "dpkg -i" is not expected to resolve package dependencies for you.

Comment 6 by mmoss@chromium.org, Jul 27 2017

Ah, I didn't notice the 'dpkg -i'. Does it work if you try to install with 'gdebi' instead?
Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
@thestig ah, that makes sense.  I think this is probably just user error.  Closing this out for now.  OP, if you're still unable to resolve the issue, please post back here
This is result of 
$ sudo apt-get update
$ dpkg -l | grep libappindicator

sudo apt-get update

"... Does it work if you try to install with 'gdebi' instead?"

Yes.
Using gdebi fixes libappindicator dependencie problem during gdebi install (sudo apt-get install gdebi) :-)
