Minetest 0.4.8 conflicts with Minetest-server

[sternenwolf]

When installing Minetest 0.4.8 under Ubuntu 13.10 (64 bit) there's a conflict with Minetest-server 0.4.7 (?), as synaptic tries to replace a library contained in both. After deinstalling the server a clean install is possible.
Trying to replace the server again under synaptic the same conflict occurs leaving me to choose either between an older server-client combo or with a newewer standalone version of Minetest.

How can I update to a newer Minetech-server version (or is it still in the works ?)

Compile from the source code

Thanx for the hint, BUT: does that mean that a binary for the Minetest-server 0.4.8 DOES NOT (yet) EXIST ?
I'm just wondering if I have to enter this convoluted procedure with Irrlicht etc. to produce it myself ?

I'm not complaining about it, just a little shy to do double work (if someone did it already) as compiling binaries is not a task I do everyday & I have to delve into the "innards" of accomplishing it successfully.

"minetest --server" runs a dedicated server, like "minetestserver" would do. However, you need to install Irrlicht to compile "minetest".
