Does not install the following libraries

libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
libatk-1.0.so.0
libpangocairo-1.0.so.0

The dependencies of the .deb package are

root@2cb088d9c151:/# apt-cache show code | grep ^Depends

• Suggestion - Add a similar subset to the dependency list

libgtk2.0
libatk1.0
libpango1.0
libpangocairo-1.0
libcairo2
libfreetype6
libfontconfig1
libdbus-1-3
libxi6

libxrandr2
libxcomposite1
libxext6
libxfixes3
libxrender1
libxtst6
libgconf-2-4
libasound2
libcups2
libexpat1

and now

libxss1

/usr/share/code/bin/../code: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In my case I only needed to install libgconf-2-4 manually, on elementary OS 0.4 (uses Ubuntu 16.04 repos).

/usr/share/code/bin/../code: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This was on 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04, after installing code_1.8.1-1482159060_i386.deb. Installing libxss1 fixed my problem.
