The software in question (Zoom) requires libxcb-xtest0. The package is in the repositories, and can be installed with 

sudo apt-get install libxcb-xtest0

Note, this should be done prior to the installation of zoom.

Zoom requires libxcb-xtest0 You can do this in the terminal, navigate to where you have downloaded the '.deb' file.

cd ~/Download/

then type in:

sudo dpkg -i zoom_amd64.deb

after it runs .... type in this:

sudo apt install -f

everything will be installed. Please do have internet.

I had the similar problem while installing zoom, using following steps

wget https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_amd64.deb

sudo apt install ./zoom_amd64.deb

It showed errors but it was resolved when I used

sudo apt --fix-broken install

It installed all the dependencies and fixed the broken installation of zoom

After that you can just type zoom on terminal to verify, it will open up zoom login page.

I'm pretty sure it's just a broken package now and there is no longer any way to install it on Ubuntu. There are dependencies that don't exist anymore. The package needs to be maintained.

I had the same problem recently when installing the zoom meeting, I had a problem related to some dependencies. It turns out that previously I had changed my mirrors to one with a higher speed, and by changing to the "original" mirrors the problem was solved.

Steps to solve my problem:

  1. I edited the /etc/apt/source.list file for the standard mirrors
  2. I ran a sudo apt update
  3. and finally sudo apt install -f
