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
