[Lazarus] Linux mint install

[Larry Dalton]

I have tried to remove the default lazarus install with the following
commands:  sudo apt-get purge fpc lazarus
    sudo rm -Rf /usr/lib/fpc sudo rm -Rf /usr/lib/lazarus    sudo rm -Rf
/usr/share/fpcsr sudo rm -f ~/.fpcsudo rm -Rf ~/.lazarus, then downloaded
lazarus_1.4.2-0amd64.deb. Then I get the following output:
dpkg: regarding fpc_2.6.2-0_i386.deb containing fpc, pre-dependency
