Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, Ubuntu never provide a package fpc with real content, so if your old fpc package contains files, it looks to me that you didn't get the original package from Ubuntu. I know one PPA that provides a all-in one package of fpc. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. You probably should uninstall fpc first and then continue.

Please let me know if I was wrong, so we can try to figure it out, but for now I set this bug to invalid.
