problem installing Lazarus

[rdohmen]

Hi,

I used to install Lazrus with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install fpc lazarus libfbclient2

But since a week or so the following message occures:

Code: Select all

fpc : Depends: fpc-2.6.0 (= 2.6.0-9+rpi1) but it is not going to be installed
lazarus : Depends: lazarus-0.9.30.4 (= 0.9.30.4-6) but it is not goning to be installed

E: unable to correct problem, you have broken packages

I have no idea how to solve or work around this.

thanks for any help,

René

I ran into the same problem today (just got my B+ this morning), and after digging through things, found it's because the binutils-gold dependency for fpc is not satisfied after I did an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.

The fpc package is looking for an older version than is now on the Pi...

For now, I forced a roll-back to the required version of binutils-gold and got fpc/lazarus to run - but that won't play well with other things in future, so someone must look at the fpc package dependencies and sort it out.

Kind regards, Arnold

Thanks Arnold,

Can you give me some instruction on how to do that?
I guess 'sudo aptitude' with some parameters?

thank in advance,

René

Thank you, this works!

After adding

deb http://plugwash.raspbian.org/wsf wheezy-wsf main

to

/etc/apt/sources.list

with

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

I updated and upgraded with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

After this a usual install was possible with:

sudo apt-get install fpc lazarus libfbclient2

Kind regards,

Rene

Hi

I tried all of the above but I still get the broken packages error.

Are there any updated suggestions?

Thanks

[plugwash]

can you post the complete output of

apt-get install lazarus fp-compiler binutils

and

apt-cache policy fp-compiler

Don't use "apt-get install". Just try as follows:

$sudo aptitude install fpc
----fpc not installed ---
---leave the following dependencies unresolved----
Accept this solutions [Y/n/q] n [Enter] == Important==

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Downgrade the following packages:
binutils 2.24.5 --> 2.22.8
Accept this solution [Y/n/q] y [Enter]
Start to download and install..

Many thanks - I apologise for my incredibly slow response. I got dragged into working on other things.

I just followed your instructions and all went well.
