Problem getting love2d on (x)ubuntu.

[MC_RIDE]

I've read several threads about people having problems on ubuntu and then solving them by installing it from bartbes' PPA, but I can't get that to work for me.

So, after adding the PPA and updating apt, this is the result of 'sudo apt-get install love' :

I seriously have no idea how to fix this. The fun thing is that love is actually installed after this process, so I can get to the "no game" screen; but all the games break it because liblove is not installed.

Seriously stumped.

It seems you've already got another sdl package installed, that's not following the correct naming scheme. Can you try removing that? (libsdl2-2.0-0)
By the way, liblove is also needed for the no game screen, so liblove is installed, and SDL2 is apparently installed too (though that package failed, you appear to have another, older one), I'm not sure why running games would fail.

I'm not sure why running games would fail.

Uninstalling that older libsdl worked perfectly, though.

Thanks bart.
