I used Docker to set up an Ubuntu 18.04 container, and then tried to install the .deb file with an error as shown below.

root@hashirama:/sc5xx_dev/lib/toolchain# dpkg -i  adi-CrossCoreEmbeddedStudio-linux-x86-2.7.0.deb

For me it seems that it was broken download issue.

I have downloaded your file:

wget http://download.analog.com/tools/CrossCoreEmbeddedStudio/Releases/Release_2.8.0/adi-CrossCoreEmbeddedStudio-linux-x86-2.8.0.deb

and checked it size

$ ls -al adi-CrossCoreEmbeddedStudio-linux-x86-2.8.0.deb

-rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 580754562 ноя 25 12:33 adi-CrossCoreEmbeddedStudio-linux-x86-2.8.0.deb

also I checked MD5 sum:

$ md5sum adi-CrossCoreEmbeddedStudio-linux-x86-2.8.0.deb

2814b42b1fdefa254701b2c802e35c1d adi-CrossCoreEmbeddedStudio-linux-x86-2.8.0.deb

It installs normally:

$ sudo apt-get install ./adi-CrossCoreEmbeddedStudio-linux-x86-2.8.0.deb

Also you need to install 32-bit libraries:

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libgtk-3-0:i386 libxtst6:i386

Consider to redownload the file.

I find how to solve this question. It's caused by the "ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive" in Dockerfile.

To install the ubuntu-18.04 we should set the package in the mode of noninteractive
To install the adi_xxx.deb package we should set the event in the mode of interactive.

So The correct Dockerfile:

RUN apt-get -y update
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y -q install net-tools build-essential minicom tftpd-hpa git-all subversion openssh-server ncurses-dev php gawk g++ m4 libncurses5-dev texinfo flex bison php-cli vim php-xml python-setuptools python-dev unzip rsync cpio bc lib32z1 lib32stdc++6 lib32ncurses5

The wrong Dockerfile:

EVN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN apt-get -y update
RUN apt-get -y -q install net-tools build-essential minicom tftpd-hpa git-all subversion openssh-server ncurses-dev php gawk g++ m4 libncurses5-dev texinfo flex bison php-cli vim php-xml python-setuptools python-dev unzip rsync cpio bc lib32z1 lib32stdc++6 lib32ncurses5

Note:
Do not use the command "ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive" in configuring the Dockerfile this is definitely not a reasonable default, and setting it via ENV should be actively discouraged, Refer to https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/4032
