DEB package you downloaded is actually the HTML page which takes you to the download and starts the download shortly.

This is the reason dpkg installer does not recognize the .deb package.

Here the actual URL where the SyncGateway packages you seek is available:

http://packages.couchbase.com/releases/couchbase-sync-gateway/1.2.0/couchbase-sync-gateway-community_1.2.0-79_x86_64.deb
