Package: lazarus
Version: 0.9.28.2-12
Severity: important

A simple form will not compile and run. A web search indicates that the library
is missing. I am not able to fix this because several required dev libraries
are at a different version than their associated main libraries.

apt-file search libgdk_pixbuf-2
libgtk2.0-dev: /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.a

Trying to install using Synaptic Package Manager

libgtk2.0-dev:
 Depends: libpango1.0-dev but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libcairo2-dev but it is not going to be installed

libcairo2-dev:
 Depends: libcairo2 (=1.8.10-6) but 1.10.2-7~bpo60+1 is to be installed
 Depends: libpixman-1-dev but it is not going to be installed

libpixman-1-dev:
  Depends: libpixman-1-0 (=0.16.4-1) but 0.24.0-1~bpo60+1 is to be installed

First, the Lazarus install should have identified all the normal dependencies.
Lazarus failed to run a basic form with a button and a text field.

Second, the package manager refused to install the required packages because
the versions don't match. Refreshing the package manager made no difference.
The solution was to select Package/Force Version for each required library.

This is not obvious - 5.5 hours to debug and solve.
