I tried to upgrade my Lazarus, by down loading the deb package from
sourceforge

I broke everything.   Now I get error messages all over the place.
Nothing works.

Which version did you download.
Which steps did you perform to upgrade?
What is not working? Does Lazarus show up and gives errors, or do you
only see errors before it even loads?
Write some errors you are getting, this may help in finding a solution

For everybody using Ubuntu  this is the way to upgrade.

Thank you for your reply.

0.9.28.2 amd64 deb tar was the file I downloaded originally from
Sourceforge  I got 15 error messages before
I have manually deleted my Lazarus directory and upgraded via the
method described above

I had error messages regarding source code but went to the synaptic
package manager and upgraded the source code.

So far everything appears to be working correctly.

Hello
see that link

It is in French but you just have to folow the commands. (or use a
translater).

It works perfectly also for updating (all other ways : i loose...)

Merci

Je parle un peux de Francais.  Votre Englais et boucoup meux.

I wonder how many spelling mistakes were it that?  Or if it was even
understandable. 

Note to self win lotto, go live in France - learn language properly.

Thanks again.
