17.10 is past end of life, I recommend you either upgrade or do a clean installation of 18.04.

A few days ago on Ubuntu 18.04 I installed Anbox following the instructions on Jithub

github.com

anbox/anbox/blob/master/docs/install.md

# Install Anbox

To install Anbox your system need to support [snaps](https://snapcraft.io). We
do not officially support any other distribution method of Anbox at the moment
but there are community made packages for various distributions (e.g. Arch Linux).
However please keep in mind that the Anbox project can give not support them
and its solely in the responsibility of the community packager to keep up with
upstream development and update the packaging to any new changes. Please feel
free to report still any bugs you encounter as they may not be related to the
packaging.

If you don't know about snaps yet head over to [snapcraft.io](https://snapcraft.io/)
to get an introduction of what snaps are, how to install support for them on your
distribution and how to use them.

The installation of Anbox consists of two steps.

 1. Install necessary kernel modules
 2. Install the Anbox snap

explained more clearly than those of the Anbox site (even if they are the same)

then I dowloaded my apk file from https://apkpure.com/ and installed it

Out of curiosity, I installed Audible which works perfectly.
I tried to install 2 more apps but they don't work, I don't know why.
