warzone2100: error while loading shared libraries: libphysfs.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I recently upgraded my Ubuntu installation to 16.04 which meant that I had to reinstall everything (not unexpectedly). I did not try to install warzone from the software center since that is the older version 3.1.1 or so and teh current version is 3.2.1 (or you could try the master version, I guess). I tried installing through the playdeb link that is offered, but this did not work for me either(I think it was the physf or somesuch). So to install version 3.2.1 I needed to compile it on my own system. I first downloaded the warzone2100-3.2.1.tar.xz file from sourceforge although you can also get it from github (https://github.com/Warzone2100/warzone2100/releases).
I then extracted the contents of this folder into my home directory (it created a new folder in there called warzone2100-3.2.1.

I opened terminal (cntr-alt-t is the shortcut) and navigated to that directory using teh command The next command to run is this instruction tells it to check that you have all the dependencies need so that it can compile. I didn't and you probably won't either. As it runs, it'll get to the first point where you're missing stuff and then stop and tell you what you're missing, but after each pass through with ./confugure I'd end up entering somethiong like to install the particular package that was needed (I was missing about half a dozen or so) and google was quite handy to identify the missing ones where the names didn't quite line up with what was needed.

Once I got to the point where ./configure ran through without encountering any errors the next step was to type into the terminal. That process will take some time (although I had other stuff running in the background...). Once make is done, then you need to type into the terminal and warzone shuld start up. It'll create the launcher shortcut for it and you'll be able to play by typing warzone2100 into terminal after that as well.

Your package manager is screwed, this has nothing to do with warzone.
Try making sure no dpkg processes are running (eg. reboot), remove the lock, try again.

how do i make sure no dpkg processes are running?

sudo apt-get -f install warzone2100
You need permission to install new software the sudo command will ask for password for your user.
and that should work,
PS: Do not have any other software programs running.
