Failed to install .deb logstash file on ubuntu 14.04

I am trying to setup ELK on my local machine.
I successfully installed elastic search and kibana.
But during installation of logstash I am getting error.
Below is the terminal logs.
I tried a lot but It is not working.
Any suggestion?

Thanks for help.

abx@xyz:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i logstash-5.1.1.deb

It looks like the installation of logstash was successful. The output you posted shows that logstash was installed again .
Unpacking logstash (1:5.1.1-1) over (1:5.1.1-1) ...

You can verify by running:
dpkg -l logstash
If you see something like:

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

it was installed successfully.

The D-Bus error is not related to Logstash. Are you installing in Docker or some other container?
The error seems to be a common error there.
