[Lazarus] fpc installation error

[larrydalton71]

I am definitely not a linux expert. Where do I get all the packages that I need to install this version of lazarus?

    I had the same problem when I tried to install Lazarus on Ubuntu
      Mate 18.04.  I ended up installing it using the Synaptic Package
      Manager because I would get the same error that you got when I
      tried to install it from either the .deb files or via the regular
      Ubuntu Software application.  I made sure I had all possible
      source and binary options selected for installation.  It worked
      perfectly when I did it that way.  
    Hope this helps.

      I have been trying to upgrade to Lazarus
        1.8.2.-0_amd64.deb on two different computers and cannot get the
        fpc package installed. I have downloaded fpc_3.0.4-2_amd64.deb,
        fpc-src_3.0.4-2_amd64.deb, and
        lazarus-project_1.8.2-0_amd64.deb. 
        

        
        The laptop has Linux Mint 18.2, and the desktop has Linux
          17.2. I have uninstalled previous lazarus versions, and have
          tried to completely remove all associated files, both using
          Synaptic Package Manager and also chasing down each file and
          deleting them. Still, on both machines, when I try to install
          fpc.3.0.4-2, I get the following error: "errpr: breaks
          existing package fpc conflict 'fpc()'. On the laptop I even
          did a complete disc-cleaning installation of linux mint 18.2,
          and repeated the process. Still get the error.  What do I need
          to do, now that I have two computers with no operating lazarus
          versions?
