Re: [Lazarus] Linux mint install
Larry, Your best bet is to find the deb file using the GUI File Manager. Double click on it and when the package installer opens, click on the install button. This should install it and any dependencies. If you must install from the command line, its typically two steps: sudo dpkg -i path to deb file sudo apt-get -f install The second command is needed to fix any missing dependencies.

I don't don't know if apt-get is clever enough to figure which one to do first. Lazarus depends on FPC, no trying to uninstall FPC first would not be a good idea. If you just try apt-get purge fpc it will remove lazarus first (I just tried it with a dry-run), so I don't think Larry's ordering will make any difference, apart from the fact that he might get an error from a subsequent attempt to purge lazarus.
