This one is funny, when installing libvte on Ubuntu 18.04:

    LINK    x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64

$ ls -ld /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libunistring.so*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root      21 Mar  3  2018
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libunistring.so.2 -> libunistring.so.2.1.0
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1562664 Mar  3  2018
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libunistring.so.2.1.0

The fix is probably "sudo ln -s libunistring.so.2
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libunistring.so".
