Template: lcl-utils${PACKAGESUFFIX}/rename_cfg Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Rename "/etc/lazarus" to "/etc/lazarus.bak"? The Lazarus suite now supports keeping multiple versions installed at the same time and using the alternatives system to set proper defaults. Normally, the latest version of any component is used. . To use the alternatives system on the system-wide configuration of the Lazarus suite, /etc/lazarus needs to be under control of the alternatives system. Currently there is a real directory at /etc/lazarus, probably from a previous installation. In order to start using the alternatives system on the configuration you must accept renaming "/etc/lazarus". If you don't, you will need to review the configuration on every version update of Lazarus as, unfortunately, the configuration files are not always backward-compatible. Also switching between different versions might need more intervention. . If you have made changes to your configuration files, you will probably need to review them and apply them to all versioned configurations, as they will not automatically propagate.
