Lazarus for debian?

[Anonymous]

Sorry for the silly question, but is there a Version of lazarus for Debian?

I used the sourceforge rpms, aliened them and installed them on Libranet (debian based) with success.

fpc-1.0.11-031022.i386.rpm
fpcsrc-1.0.11-20031022.i386.rpm
lazarus-0.9.0.6-fpc_1.0.11_031022.i386.rpm

That is a shame! There is no packages for Debian. Please we want it!

What stops you making them?

[kmoffat]

Just download the above rpms, run alien on them and install using dpkg -i. They work on Libranet (debian based.)

i aliened them successfully but when i come to install the deb package i get an error,
dpkg: error processing //root/lazarus_0.9.1.4-1_i386.deb (--install):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/lazarus', which is also in package tct
i dunno how i could get around this, i tried renaming the conflicted file to something else with no success. sorry if this is dumb, im a linux newbie.
what is tct?

apt-cache show tct

Apparantly some utility package also providing a binary with the name 'lazarus'.
