No, sorry, I cannot do a sensible test of my app using FPC and/or Lazarus from sid.
I can install FPC3.2.2 from Sid by using priorities. But the Lazarus in Sid is non functional, blocked, because of an issue about "diversions". So, falling back to using Testing's Lazarus, I find it insists on installing FPC3.2.0. It should not, Lazarus 2.0.10 is fine with FPC3.2.2, I just tested in on my system. So, that leaves me with a partially overwritten FPC3.2.2. Yes it built and makes a nice SRC package but I cannot be sure it has not used FPC3.2.0 components so the test is not absolute. So, I will have to wait until the Lazarus on Sid issue is resolved. And Lazarus 2.2.0 cannot be far way. It has a fix (I wrote) for the problem affecting Gnome Desktops caused when Debian dropped libappindicator3 in favour of libayatana-appindicator3 apparently without considering that they have different names.
