Several peoples use a script to a automated installation with sucess, see:

Good luck.

In the last days I tried to install Lazarus on various (virtual) machines, on Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS), with different problems preventing the use of the SVN trunk. Finally I was successful only in an older installation.

I'm not sure what's going on, but I suspect that some Ubuntu security update now disallows to install e.g. Lazarus and even SVN :-(

Did other users have similar experiences? Is it something that the Lazarus community/supporter has to care of, or is Ubuntu restructuring its repositories?

No problems with Ununtu x86 (it enables arm-linux also):

Have you install libgtk2.0-dev ?

A script doesn't help when dependencies cannot be resolved :-(

Actually SVN cannot be installed, due to missing files.

I use exactly the same version of Ubuntu at work and have no problems at all. Initially, I installed Lazarus and FPC via Synaptic, then SVN and finally downloaded and installed latest trunks.
Once or twice a week I use scripts that come with Lazarus and then dpkg.

If you cannot install SVN I suspect your OS installation went titsup.

Please try and see yourself. Currently the Ubuntu repositories are in an unusable state :-(

Right, the current Ubuntu distribution is quite broken. Older installations continue to work, but newer ones have problems.

I use Lazarus 0.9.30.1 (stable) and 0.9.31 (trunk) under Ubuntu 10.04. (64-bit) with all security updates installed. No fancy install scripts where used, just SVN / Git checkouts and then installed GTK2 developers libraries allowing FPC to link successfully. No problems whatsoever.

Huh?

Double huh? As I mentioned in my other post, I have all security update installed, plus many other packages, and I have no you must be doing something strange or wrong on your system.
