[Pkg-pascal-devel] Lazarus in backports

[David Bannon]

Yep, well spotted Paul, I was using a VM previously used, apparently, 
for some 'testing' things. So I had testing in my apt sources. Cleaned 
that out, update and it all worked as expected. Careless !

I'll build a new VM before proceeding .....

Thanks Paul and Abou !
