Ok, I think I understand the reason. But still, there is no startlazarus in this /home/myname/bin/ , only one in usr/lib/lazarus/ starting version 0.9.10 before the printers package installation I had this component installed previously in 0.9.8, and it seemed ok for install without being root. Still a lot to learn and understand Thanks Vincent
