Hello Gophers!

Spurred on by Matto:

I am trying to do some more phlogging. He opened a channel on libera.chat 
with the name #phloggersgarage as a place for phloggers to discuss and be
inspired. 

So here goes!

I was struggling with my development system of choice: Lazarus. It just did not
want to work, as it was (after official Debian install via apt) complaining
about having the wrong settings. They were (in the file version.inc) in the
directory ''/usr/lib/lazarus/2.2.6/ide'. That file was pointing to '2.2.6' which
seemed to be correct. But it wasn't. The Debian/apt numbering system was refer-
ring to it as '2.2.6-dfsg2-2', but putting that in the file did not help, so I
was stumped. I put the problem away for a few hours and went to do something
else. Of course I can not stand this so after some time I went back and started
tinkering again. All of a sudden I saw that the title of the Lazarus interface
GUI I was working in was referring to '2.2.6-dfsg2-2+b1', so I tried that. And
voila it worked! So I was happy again. For completeness: I am running Debian Sid
with a 6.4.0.3-amd64 kernel and I run XFCE. I think I should put up a bug report
somewhere, but to be honest I would not know where at the moment.

I hope some of you will be helped with this small piece of info...

Have a nice sunday! 

Cheers,

Fripster
