Solved: for anyone interested go to the following link to download the dependency 'libenet2a' to make Supertuxkart 0.8.1-2 work in the LL3 series:
https://pkgs.org/ubuntu-14.04/ubuntu-uni...4.deb.html
At this webpage, scroll down to the subheading Download & click on the icon which is shown next to the text "Download libenet2a_1.3.11+ds-1_amd64.deb for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS from the Ubuntu Universe repository" and then open the downloaded package with gdebi.
Useful for those of us running LL3 series, who are fans of Supertuxkart, but who have PCs with video cards that are too old to run the Supertuxkart version 0.9, which is currently available in the LL3.0 series repository and replaces version 0.8.
