Knappsu did not make a package for Ubuntu 16.04.

I recommend installing it from github directly.
With ubuntu 16.04 you will also have to manually install libYAML from github, because they deliver the wrong version.

EDIT: you may wanna read THIS (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4631.0.html)

General Linux install procedure can be found HERE (https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Compiling_(OpenXcom)#Linux.2FBSD) and HERE (https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Compiling_with_CMake_(OpenXcom))

Have fun :)
