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.
