Can't install StarUML in Ubuntu 16.04

Question

I’m using ubuntu 16.04 - 64 bit. I tried to install Start UML with .deb file and got this message from Ubuntu Software:

This software comes from a 3rd party and may contain non-free components

Then I trying to install with dpkg, and got this:

$ sudo dpkg -i StarUML-v2.7.0-64-bit.deb 
Selecting previously unselected package staruml.
(Reading database ... 212003 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack StarUML-v2.7.0-64-bit.deb ...
Unpacking staruml (2.7.0) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of staruml:
 staruml depends on libgcrypt11 (>= 1.4.5); however:
  Package libgcrypt11 is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package staruml (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme (0.15-0ubuntu1) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:

Could you help me to resolve this issue?

Adding to this topic for Ubuntu 18.04:

1. Download libgcrypt11 from the provided link:

   https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libgcrypt11_1.5.3-2ubuntu4.2_amd64.deb

2. Now, install it with the command:

   sudo dpkg -i libgcrypt11_1.5.3-2ubuntu4.2_amd64.deb
   

3. Now, we have to install another dependency, libcurl3. Run the command:

   sudo apt install libcurl3
   

4. Now, proceed with the installation of StarUML:

   sudo dpkg -i StarUML-v2.8.1-64-bit.deb
   

   Note that the file name will change depending on StarUML version.

That's it. Worked like charm for me.
