I describe this scenario as when installing from packages ".deb " most
often, different errors were obtained.
My fastest way to install Lazarus on Debian 10:

1. Go to the official website:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20amd64
%20DEB/
select the latest version and download packages fpc-laz* and fpc-src*,
as of this writing, the latest version:
Lazarus_2.0.4 and package versions:
fpc-src_3. 0. 4-2_amd64.deb
fpc-laz_3. 0. 4-1_amd64.deb.

2. Package installation:
In the console execute:
sudo su
mkdir /lazarus/
dpkg -i fpc-src_3. 0. 4-2_amd64.deb fpc-laz_3. 0. 4-1_amd64.deb

3. Installing Lazarus:
Now you need to get the Lazarus source code from SVN, to do this, run
in the console:
cd /lazarus/
svn checkout https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/tags/lazarus_2_0_4

4. Lazarus Build:
cd /lazarus/lazarus_2_0_4/
make clean bigide

5. Start Lazarus:
/lazarus/lazarus_2_0_4/startlazarus

Hello XakeR,
Welcome to the forum.

Thank you for sharing your way to install Lazarus on Debian 10. I
believe it will work on many Debian derivatives too.

Hi Handoko, yes I think so, too, but I can say with confidence so far
only about Debian 10.
In case there are any problems with fpc or lazarus in the system,
I can recommend to perform a complete removal of the packages (if they
were installed) lazarus, fpc, fpc-src and fpc-laz, command:
apt purge lazarus fpc fpc-src fpc-laz
And also delete in case they exist files:
rm /etc/fpc* /etc/fppkg/ -R
And repeat the installation according to the instructions above.

@XakeR
If you know Linux (Debian) very well, I can advise you to write a
script to install trunk versions of fpc and lazarus. I think that many
users (and I, too) on this forum would thank you.
I wrote such a script for myself for Windows. And it saves me a lot of
time. If anyone is interested, I can show the code of the bat file.

Do you think this method is ok to install Lazarus on a Raspberry Pi
3B+ with Buster ?

Best regards.
