Hi,
Just put this package on "hold". Everything is explained here:
http://www.debianadmin.com/how-to-prevent-a-package-from-being-updated-in-
debian.html
It's for debian but will work in k/ubuntu as well.

> Hi all,

> and fpc-src-2.6.0-2.fc17.x86_64. I downloaded these x86_64 versions in rpm

> all worked well and I am able to use lazarus without any problems.
> However, software updates wanted to update fpc to 2.6.0-6, which I did.
> I was then left with a non working lazarus because it could not find the
> fpc executables, I search my computer and could not find them.
> My original installation had them in /usr/lib64 but the update did not put
> them there, in fact I'm not sure that the update is even for a x86_64
> system.
> So I removed the fpc software and reinstalled my deb package and all is
> working again.
> I am still getting requests to update fpc.
> How can I disable the system from requesting update of just this software?
> Hope all is clear
