I use that link all the time when setting up a new system! Since you can't apt install dosemu on most recent version(s) of Ubuntu, the link to the .deb file (dpkg -i) and then the linux command for repauring a broken package usually fixes it right up.

I'd also consider dosemu2, which is actively supported, but a bit more fiddly to setup.
