I finally understood the issue.
Lazbuild tries to look to the compiler error message at the wrong location:
/usr/share/fpcsrc/3.0.4/compiler/msg/errore.msgHowever the error messages file
is located in Debian at:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fpc/3.0.4/msg/errore.msgSo Lazarus/lazbuild does not
find it and falls back on a copy shipped by lazarus-src:
/usr/lib/lazarus/1.8.4/components/codetools/fpc.errore.msgHowever as you did not
install lazarus-src, the file pointer is nil and an error happens when trying to
access it.
The first step to fix this is to try to understand why do we install the error
message file in the wrong place?
