2008-11-30 22:23:48 Paul Gevers lazarus: statusexplanation Thank you for taking the time to make Ubuntu better. When I look at [1] I see that fpc-source (mind the name) is in the recommends section of lazarus. As far as I can tell in (k|x|)ubuntu most package manners pull in recommends automatically. What package manager do you use, it looks like the behavior you experience is different from the actual behavior? And can you give the output of "apt-cache show lazarus" And please be clearer in which of the (two) bugs you like to report in this report. Each separated bug should go in one report. You can reopen bug 126003 again if you really think it is still/again open, but I tend to think the problem lies elsewhere. Looking at the title of this report you want to report here what is in your "BTW", ie some option in lazarus should be pre-filled? [1] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/amd64/lazarus/0.9.24-0-9

2008-12-02 02:09:07 Paul Gevers description Binary package hint: lazarus Appears to be the same as #126003 Please add package fpc-src But that bug is said to be fixed. Well it isn't fixed in Kubuntu/Xubuntu 8.10 (or current updates). BTW Just installing the missing package(s) isn't sufficient - the Lazarus IDE Environment Options FPC Source directory needs to be filled in (with /usr/share/fpcsrc/2.2.0/). Lazarus package version 0.9.24-0-9 BTW Launchpad is VERY slow (my broadband connection is fine) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Dependencies: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.10 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: lazarus None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/lazarus.list] PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB SourcePackage: lazarus Uname: Linux 2.6.27-7-generic i686 The symptom is that Lazarus, when it starts up, displays a message box saying "The Free Pascal source directory was not found. Some code functions will not work. It is recommended that you install it and set the path Environment -> Environment Options -> Files [Ignore]" A screen-shot is attached to the bug. I can confirm that the relevant directory is installed (in Xubuntu, and probably also was in Kubuntu) and it is just the Environment Option setting that is missing. The text of the message box misled me. After setting this path correctly the message does not return. The preferred behavior of the package should be that this path is set automatically. Otherwise, the warning message should be changed. === Original description: Binary package hint: lazarus Appears to be the same as #126003 Please add package fpc-src But that bug is said to be fixed.

2008-12-03 02:42:26 Paul Gevers lazarus: status Triaged Fix Released
2008-12-03 02:42:26 Paul Gevers lazarus: statusexplanation This bug is fixed in version 0.9.24-10, so that means that it is fixed in jaunty. However, if you do an upgrade you won't see that it is solved due to files in ~/.lazarus/ So it is fixed for fresh installs, but not for updates (and never will because this is user space which is respected). Due to the nature of this bug (wishlist) and the status of bug 275688, which influences lazarus indirectly via fpc, I don't nominate this bug for intrepid (or other releases).
