I've done this many times over on many machines (all Debian derivatives)
in the past and never had a problem like this.
I validated the checksums on all three files.
Then I double clicked on /home/donz/Downloads/fpc_3.0.4-rc1_amd64.deb to
activate "Package Installer". Then clicked "Install Package". Result
seems to be success (but with no sign of the compiler). What is the
standard path for the installation?
Same as for 3.0.0 and 3.0.2:
/usr/lib/fpc/<version>/
What do you get when doing "dpkg -l | grep fpc"?
I got the opposite on a fresh Linux Mint 18: When using the command line
directly there was
no error. When using the graphical installer the installation showed a
conflict error, but the package was installed successfully.
dpkg -i fpc_3.0.4-rc1_amd64.deb
[...]
I am about to remove all vestiges of Lazarus and FPC from my system and
start over, but I really would like to know what is going wrong before I
do. :'(
Probably the old 3.0.2 packages bite the new.

Mattias,
dpkg -l | grep fpc
ii fpc 3.0.0+dfsg-2 all Free
Pascal - SDK suite dependency package
ii fpc-3.0.0 3.0.0+dfsg-2 all
Free Pascal - SDK-3.0.0 suite
ii fpc-source 3.0.0+dfsg-2 all
Free Pascal - SDK source code dependency package
ii fpc-source-3.0.0 3.0.0+dfsg-2
all Free Pascal - SDK source code
This is consistent with:
fpc -v
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.0.0+dfsg-2 [2016/01/28] for x86_64

Fatal: No source file name in command line
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/bin/ppcx64 returned an error exitcode
Then:
sudo dpkg -i fpc_3.0.4-rc1_amd64.deb
dpkg: regarding fpc_3.0.4-rc1_amd64.deb containing fpc:
fpc conflicts with fpc
fpc-3.0.0 provides fpc and is present and installed.
dpkg: error processing archive fpc_3.0.4-rc1_amd64.deb (--install):
conflicting packages - not installing fpc
Errors were encountered while processing:
fpc_3.0.4-rc1_amd64.deb
Unfortunately the gui installer did NOT produce any error messages so I
was misled into thinking that it was successful.
This gives me enough information that I can continue. I'll keep you
informed of my progress.
Thanks,
Don
