This bug is based on a discussion and discovery in an Ubuntu bug [1] in the
lazarus package currently in the Ubuntu development branch (Precise).
The point is that after you installed several version of lazarus (and fpc by the
way) without removing or purging the old ones, your alternatives for lazarus
will
contain several versions. Because they are ranked equally, you can get an old
version used by default instead of (by me) expected latest version if you have
alternatives set to auto mode.
Quote from the bug:
ok2cqr@ubuntu1204:~$ update-alternatives --display lazarus
lazarus - auto mode
link currently points to /usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.30
/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.30 - priority 20
---%<--- skip
/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.30.2 - priority 20
---%<--- skip
Current 'best' version is '/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.30'.
My solution would be to increment the priority with every new upstream version,
but you may find a more clever solution.
Maybe this is related to the problems building Winff on Armel as discussed in a
private e-mail.
By the way, the problem for the OP in the Ubuntu bug [1] is not solved yet.
