When you try to install Local WP on Ubuntu, you get a dependency error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 local : Depends: libaio1 but it is not installable
         Depends: libncurses5 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Bash

The solution is to manually download these dependencies and then install them:

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/648013231/libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64.deb http://launchpadlibrarian.net/646633572/libaio1_0.3.113-4_amd64.deb http://launchpadlibrarian.net/648013227/libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64.deb libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb libaio1_0.3.113-4_amd64.deb
Bash

After doing this, you can install the Local WP package.
