I have been trying to upgrade to Lazarus 1.8.2.-0_amd64.deb on two different computers and cannot get the fpc package installed. I have downloaded fpc_3.0.4-2_amd64.deb, fpc-src_3.0.4-2_amd64.deb, and lazarus-project_1.8.2-0_amd64.deb.

The laptop has Linux Mint 18.2, and the desktop has Linux 17.2. I have uninstalled previous lazarus versions, and have tried to completely remove all associated files, both using Synaptic Package Manager and also chasing down each file and deleting them. Still, on both machines, when I try to install fpc.3.0.4-2, I get the following error: "errpr: breaks existing package fpc conflict 'fpc()'. On the laptop I even did a complete disc-cleaning installation of linux mint 18.2, and repeated the process. Still get the error. What do I need to do, now that I have two computers with no operating lazarus versions?

I had the same problem when I tried to install Lazarus on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.  I ended up installing it using the Synaptic Package Manager because I would get the same error that you got when I tried to install it from either the .deb files or via the regular Ubuntu Software application.  I made sure I had all possible source and binary options selected for installation.  It worked perfectly when I did it that way.

Hope this helps.

I am definitely not a linux expert. Where do I get all the packages that I need to install this version of lazarus?

Better file a bug report on Linux Mint or Ubuntu, then.

You can ignore that error message.
Proceed to install the lazarus deb.

I will see if I can create a fpc deb without that error.

Thanks, Mattias!
