Visual Studio Code Installation Error on Ubuntu 18.04

I get the below error while trying to install Visual Studio Code on Ubuntu 18.04.

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of code:
 code depends on libgconf-2-4; however:
  Package libgconf-2-4:amd64 is not configured yet.

How do I go about configuring libgconf2?

This is because Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't ship with gconf2. Following the below steps helped resolve the issue.

1) Download and install gconf2-common (3.2.6-4ubuntu1)

sudo dpkg -i gconf2-common_3.2.6-4ubuntu1_all.deb

2) Download and install libgconf-2-4_3.2.6-4ubuntu1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libgconf-2-4_3.2.6-4ubuntu1_amd64.deb

3) Install Visual Studio Code.

sudo dpkg -i code_1.24.1-1528912196_amd64.deb

Have you tried

sudo apt-get -f install

and then trying to install the Visual Studio Code package again?
