Hi Robert,
As I can see you have installed lazarus-ide package which installs only
the IDE not the LCL. This configuration is not the right for Lazarus
normal users and is only intended for advanced users with particular
needs.
I assume your issue will disappear if you install the lazarus package
# aptitude install lazarus
This will install everything you need to build any Lazarus based
application.
Please confirm this fixes you issue so I can close this report.
Cheers,

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

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.
