** Summary changed:
- Replace lazarus-ide package by lazarus package
+ Lazarus desktop file refers to wrong package
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: software-center
+ The lazarus desktop file provided by app-install-data-ubuntu refers to
+ the package 'lazarus-ide', rather than the package 'lazarus'. This
+ results in incomplete lazarus installations.
+
+ --original--
When looking for "lazarus", software-center will offer package "lazarus-
ide" for instalation. Thats a bad choice because Lazarus will not work
properly without "fpc-sources" package and lazarus-ide does not depend
on it. This will produce a error message on IDE startup (about improper
configuration of fpc sources directory) and many key functionalities,
such as writing event handlers will not work at all.
Offering "lazarus" meta-package is a far better option, giving the user
a fully functional development environment.
** Package changed: software-center (Ubuntu) => app-install-data-ubuntu
(Ubuntu)
** Changed in: app-install-data-ubuntu (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
