Hi Bas,
some general points about bug reporting;
1) The tag ftbfs is used when the package does not build from the
debian source (using debuild or whatever)
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=lazarus
Lazarus is building fine from source.
When a compiler fails to build something locally, that is not ftbfs.
If the package really was ftbfs, there would be nothing for users to
install.
2) The severity serious means a "severe violation of Debian policy".
https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities
Lazarus failing to rebuild the IDE, but generally working fine apart
from that, is unfortunate, and definitely
a [Normal] bug, but it is hardly a "severe violation of Debian policy".
Regards,
Peter
P.S. I can reproduce this problem too, with both 3.0 & 3.4 Debian
packages,
but rebuilding the IDE works with the Arch Linux 3.4 package.
