So now I have found a package in OnLinePackageManager that will hose Lazarus if
installed:
BGRABitmap
Up until installing that I was fine, but now Lazarus won't start....
The Initial image is shown for 3 seconds and then disappears.
Then nothing...
What can I do to get into Lazarus and remove the BGRABitmap?
Or is there somewhere a file or such I can edit and then rebuild the IDE from
the command line?
This is on Linux (Raspberry Pi OS).
