Q:

TypeScript with passport-local: Cannot use 'new' with an expression whose type lacks a call or construct signature

I'm trying to use the passport-local package with TypeScript (2.0.0RC) but I'm getting a compiler error stating:

error TS2351: Cannot use 'new' with an expression whose type lacks a call or construct signature

Screenshot of this in VS Code attached (the code under the tooltip is just passport.use().

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to give it the signature it wants.
I found a few issues on the topic, but anything I try just gives other compiler errors.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to make the compiler happy with this code?

A:

Try this one: 
import * as passportLocal from 'passport-local';
const LocalStrategy = passportLocal.Strategy;
