[SOLVED] ERROR: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file(...)

I'm running Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Arduino IDE 1.6.9

I'm getting an other error while trying to upload a sketch. It says:

/media/space/ComputerBusiness/Arduino/arduino-1.6.9/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I googled : libtinfo so 5 arduino

ArchWiki says:

Solve the dependency problem by creating a symbolic link

# ln -s /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5

For more info: libtinfo / Applications & Desktop Environments / Arch Linux Forums

Yes, I tried:

# sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5

It appears to have taken care of the issue.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
