I'm trying to install lazarus from here. I had broken packages, but I fixed the problem by removing sources in 

gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status

as described here. Then I tried to install lazarus again, and the lazarus itself installs, but fpc and fpc-src packages cannot be installed. It gives me this error:

If I install regular fpc from software center, it deletes lazarus.

And, before I installed lazarus I removed all previous folders including .lazarus folder in home directory, so, when I install regular lazarus, it says that it's installed in software center, but it cannot be found in dash, although .lazarus folder exists.

I have also tried to remove it by using this instructions,and reinstall, but the same problem persists. I also tried this, and it didn't help too. Please help! Thank you!

You need to remove fpc-source-2.6.2 package first to install fpc-src. Granted, both package should break each other:

sudo apt-get -f remove fpc-source-2.6.2
sudo apt-get install -f fpc-src

Please, consider filling a bug report in lazarus.

  • The problem is that, when I install normall lazarus from ubuntu software center, it says that it is installed, but i cannot find it in das. When I install new version, I can find it, but it doesn't work because fpc and fpc-src cannot be installed. Please, help me at least to install the old version from software center. That version worked well before update. Thank you! – Dusan Milosevic Jan 31 '14 at 20:44
  • "in das"? what is "das"? Exactly what is your problem? – Braiam Jan 31 '14 at 21:15
  • in dash, mistyped – Dusan Milosevic Feb 01 '14 at 11:04
  • Those package are only sources, they are not supposed to appear as menu. "This package contains Free Pascal's own source code. It is meant **to be used by the Lazarus IDE."** So, fire up Lazarus and they will be there. – Braiam Feb 01 '14 at 15:37
