Well, I answer to myself.
The link in environment is correct, but the executable to run is in fact
in /home/myname/.lazarus/bin/
I don't fully understand why new installation above an old one can lead to
loss of references to the correct executable. But now it seems Ok.
Installation of a component, needs a recompile of the lazarus executable.
While building a new executable, lazarus detected, it had no write permission on
/usr/lib/lazarus, so it created the executable in /home/myname/.lazarus/bin/. It
didn't have any knowlegde of the symlink in /usr/bin.
Lazarus comes with a starter called startlazarus, which - on linux - should start
the executable in /home/myname/.lazarus/bin/, but I never actually tested that myself.
If you had done the installation of the new component as root, it would have written
the new executable in /usr/lib/lazarus.
