Time for Ubuntu and Debian to get these things fixed ... After spending almost five hours attempting to install the lazarus ide on Ubuntu Hardy Heron I've discovered that the souce of all this trouble is a fight between the debian maintainer of the FPC debs and the Ubuntu folks who have not sync'd the libraries and package names..
After reading this console log and looking thru literally hundreds of pages and web notes I come to find out that none of the posted instructions to put the lazarus ide on a Ubuntu system (Hardy) will work correctly .. it doesnt matter how you try or malform the apt-get, its broken fundamentally at the core and unless someone at Ubuntu or Debian get their libs names syncd back up this will remain a problem. The fpc users are caught in the middle here and forgive me for being so blunt, but its neither fair nor professional for the Debian manintainer to fail to notice all the posts that keep popping up on this problem without resolving this and keeping it fixed .....
