[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#898310: lcl-units-1.8 unusable due to file permissions

[Chris Dryburgh]

Hi,  This does look like a duplicate problem to 896702. Has it been 
confirmed that adding the missing files solves 896702 ?

Lazarus does not put all of the possible binaries in the deb file. If 
extra packages are needed then they can be compiled as needed using the 
source code.

Have looked at the lazarus-project_1.8.2-0_xxx.deb from Sourceforge. 
This package places files and folders under 
/usr/share/lazarus/1.8.2/components/fpdebug/   There are two subfolders 
app/ and test/ created.  There is no lib/ subfolder created. Think the 
lib/ folder and any temporary files such as .ppu or .ppl are created 
during compilation.

The debian package creates the folder 
/usr/lib/lazarus/1.8.2/components/fpdebug/. This folder and sub 
components is under root control meaning that fpc cannot create 
temporary files like .ppu or .ppl needed for compilation.

Unless I'm misunderstanding how the permissions work I'm not sure that 
missing files is the whole problem.
