Better replace sid with sequeeze in that instructions, and run aptitude update; aptitude -s install lazarus , to see which packages will be picked from squeeze You will need a mixed debian environment (see pinning [1]) or to do a backport (both are advanced topics) Seems like lazarus was removed from lenny for legal reasons [2] Regards, [1] http://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences?action=show&redirect=Pinning [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506977 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
