You can install a static copy of wings3d by simply downloading a .run
file from it website, make it executable and run it. It will install a
static copy of wings3d in /home (or you can run it in /opt) with all the
dependencies bundled with it.

The dependency problem  likely will never be fixed (see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/erlang/+bug/438365)
It is no big deal as far as wings3d is concern because installing the static 
version with the .run file is as easy or easier than apt-get and there is no 
dependecy problem to worry about. I add an "affect me too" simply because I 
think they should at least have the courtesy to remove wings3d in the 
repository if they can't fix or won't fix the dependency problem. It reflects 
badly on Ubuntu to leave packages with known broken dependencies in the repo.
