It is installed:-

    root@t430# dpkg -l | grep soundtouch
    ii  libsoundtouch-dev:amd64                     1.9.2-2 amd64        Development files for the sound stretching library
    ii  libsoundtouch1:amd64                        1.9.2-2 amd64        Sound stretching library

However as far as I can see the above packages don't install the file
that audacity is looking for.

Strangely I have another xubuntu 16.04 system where audacity works
perfectly OK and that doesn't have libSoundTouch.so.0 either.

It seems that audacity on this system (where it doesn't work) is
looking for libSoundTouch.so.0 and 16.04 Ubuntu has libSoundTouch.so.1.
