hey guys, I am running ubuntu 12.04. Long story short, I deleted my ~/.minetest and my /usr/share/minetest. I tried getting the repository again and running sudo apt-get install minetest, but I am getting an error with
" Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/minetest_0.3.1+dfsg-2_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) "
showing up in my terminal. Is there a way that I can get rid of ALL my minetest files so I can reinstall? or am I F@#!ed?

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

try using synaptic or use the -f parameter with sudo apt-get install minetest (sudo apt-get -f install minetest, i think, but i'm not sure)

Maybe try apt-get purge minetest, then try installing again?

I am on the Voxelands Forums more often than here.

Do you want to reinstall 0.3.1 or do you want to try the latest 0.4.3 version?.
You can try the Ubuntu Software Centre (under System Tools). I guess there's a minetest 0.3.1 under it.
I prefer to compile minetest. When I follow the readme.txt (the one under minetest.net, github), it is installed in my home folder. I find minetest easier to handle there. Al lot of versions are available, just scroll down under minetest.net, downloads.

Best way to get Minetest on Linux: compile it. Its realy easy if you read the README.txt in the GitHub repo.
