I am trying to install the latest version on my Mint 21.2 Cinnamon
machine. The 3 main packages downloaded fine and the 2 fpc packages
installed correctly but the actual Lazarus 2.2.6 starts then fails
with "Failed to fetch http://mirror.overthewire.com.au/ubuntu/pool/uni
verse/g/gtk%%2b2.0/gir1.2-gtk-2.0_2.24.33-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb 404  Not
Found [IP: 139.5.127.195 80]" and many similar errors.

 tried the apt update commands but those urls don't seem to be
available. Is anyone else having this problem?

This issue is not about lazarus, but to distro packager. Can you
download that package from another mirror and install it ? Does
gir1.2-gtk-2.0_2.24 exist in Mint 21.1 at all ?

Does gir1.2-gtk-2.0_2.24 exist in Mint 21.1 at all ?
I can't install it. The synaptics manager tries to download it from
the repository

browse folder
http://mirror.overthewire.com.au/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gtk%2B2.0/

the file is not there, issue is with repository.. report issue to
repository maintainers

google gir1.2-gtk-2.0_2.24.33-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb
you can then find out which repository has the file, then add that
repository to your package manager.

he file is not there, issue is with repository.. report issue to
repository maintainers

Thanks. That is what I thought was wrong. The files have moved at
overthewire.com.au and all the packages that refer to that site fail.
I have sent an email to the contact for overthewire.com.au.

Thanks Dzandaa. That link did work. I will try to do the install from
there.

Thank you to everyone who replied.

I sent the error messages to the overthewire.com people and they
restored a folder which had been moved.
