Hi,
I would do a build of FPC and Lazarus from SVN trunk.
It works for me superbly and I don't have to worry about updates or
keeping up-to-date with FPC/Lazarus.
Nor waiting years for the latest packages to be updated and included in
Ubuntu.
The 2.5.1 trunk of FPC has a ton of new features and fixes/updates which
I need and use without a problem.
Building FPC and Lazarus from SVN can be a little bit tricky until one
gets it right, but once you have it you will not look back.
I can list my step by step install if you need (the first PITA item on
the list is to install the VMWare tools into your Ubuntu so you will
have copy/paste for the build process commands. This requires some
kernel sources, etc.).

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 desktop in a VMWare virtual machine.
I also did a full update of everything after the install.
Now for Lazarus....
In the Synaptic Package Manager I see versions:
Lazarus: 0.9.28.2-8ubuntu1
FPC: 2.4.0-2
I don't know if these are current or if there is another
way to get the right versions.
Please suggest the best way to proceed.
