installation fails on debian stretch

From @harindu95 on March 26, 2017 2:25

Steps to reproduce

I tried the following method from official site.

 sudo apt-get install curl libunwind8 gettext
 curl -sSL -o dotnet.tar.gz https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=843453
 sudo mkdir -p /opt/dotnet && sudo tar zxf dotnet.tar.gz -C /opt/dotnet
 sudo ln -s /opt/dotnet/dotnet /usr/local/bin
 dotnet new console -o hwapp   

Expected behavior

Creating a new project
