Package was just installed, upgrading failed.

I may be mistaken (I don't understand Italian (or whatever the language is)), but it seriously looks like you installed the Debian package from upstream and then tried to upgrade with the package in Ubuntu. I am terrible sorry to say that in general that is impossible to support.

In this case, I will try to fix it, but that fix will NOT go into Xenial Xerus as that is already frosen.

The Debian/Ubuntu package callled fpc-src never contained any files, it was always a meta package.

Dear Paul,
Yes, you're right, I just downloaded the .deb from the page of the project and then installed with Gdebi. After installation Gdebi shown the possibility to upgrade (I think) and I given the "install" command again. Then there was the problem.
The Italian statement:ErrorMessage: tentata sovrascrittura di "/usr/share/fpcsrc/3.0.0/rtl/android/jvm/java_sys_android.inc" presente anche nel pacchetto fpc-src 3.0.0  InstallationDMeans: tried to overwrite "/usr/share/fpcsrc/3.0.0/rtl/android/jvm/java_sys_android.inc" present also in the package fpc-src 3.0.0
I reported this just in case could help you.
Thanks in any case for your commitment in those issues,
Regards,
Simone Bonzanini

@ Paul Gevers

You can ask for a stable release upgrade for this package if you want.

Hmm, not sure if that is going to fly. The last two updates in Debian
even didn't make it into stable as the package fails to install (and
thus build as it Build-depends on itself) on powerpc due to changes in
glibc (LP: 1562480). So until that is sorted out we can't build the
package in stable.

Uploaded to Debian, pending sync in Ubuntu...

fpc (3.0.0+dfsg-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Don't install latex style files that are already in
    texlive-latex-recommended and more up-to-date there (Closes: #820445)
  * Let fpc-source break/replace fpc-src from upstream (LP: #1568072)
  * Update test suite: little rework + more reference files for different
    architectures
  * Add arm_UMULL_support_fix.patch to enable hedgewars to build with PIC
    (Follow-up from #813452)
  * Add fp-fix-timestamps to ease maintainers work to get reproducible
    builds where timestamps in ppu files are concerned and use it
  * Bump Standards to 3.9.8 (no changes)
  * Update FSF address where applicable
  * Fixed several spelling errors reported by Lintian
  * Add multiple lintian overrides to trim down the list
  * Add fp-units-gtk2 examples back
