Hi All,

I'm using Linux Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). I'm using the Synaptic Package Manager to attempt to re-install FPC.

(Reading database etc etc
Preparing to replace fpc 2.2.0-dfsgl-5 etc etc
Unpacking the replacement fpc ...
Setting up fpc (2.2.0-dfsgl-5)

Then Synaptic Package Manager locks up and become a 'zombie process'

I have tried to do a complete removal then reinstallation but still the same result. SPM does NOT do this with other packages.

Any Ideas will be appreciated!!!

You can try dpkg directly and perhaps get some usefull output if it also fails. I never had this problem (Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit) but I build the fpc package myself from svn via lazarusdir/tools/install/create_fpc_deb.sh.

Can you please tell me the exact command(s) I need to enter. I'm assuming that I need to open a System Terminal (if that's the right terminology) - however, I'm still a help will be appreciated.

Can you please tell me the exact command(s) I need to enter. I'm assuming that I need to open a System Terminal (if that's the right terminology) - however, I'm still a a terminal is correct. And since you are new to the linux command line you should try:

man man

man dpkg

And finally to install the package:

cd /home/your_user_name/directory_with_your_fpc_package_inside

sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb

hih
