I'm trying to install WPS office in Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 , the installation through the Software App is not working (By unknown reasons at least by me) I've been able to install other software but not WPS office, so I tried with the command to install .DEB packages and it outputs the next error: 

sudo dpkg -i wps-office_10.1.0.5672-a21_amd64.deb

Thank's before hand , if someone has already solved this problem I would be glad to know how , this can help other people as well, thanks.

WARNING: This answer may became obsolete anytime soon. WPS for Linux seems be have been abandoned. The version you have is the last one and it may not be installable in newer Ubuntu releases.

The original error message - unexpected end of file or stream - suggests corrupt download. This has been confirmed with the checksum.

Download from my personal share and confirm SHA1 matches 80d884c47eaeee3305958ed87e61eafbee30b0cf.

Before installing, due to a missing dependency since 16.10, this workaround is still required. You should now be able to install and enjoy this great office suite that unfortunately reached the end of its life.

Using gdebi (instead of dpkg) as manual package installer, it gives you the error that the libpng12-0 package is missing.

This package shall be downloaded following those links :

http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/i386/libpng12-0/download

http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/libpng12-0/download

(according to this Ask Ubuntu thread)

Then install this package with dpkg (gdebi raises an error ...). In my case :

sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb

And finally install WPS :

sudo dpkg -i wps-office_10.1.0.5672~a21_amd64.deb

And normally WPS is installed and works.
