Are you being serious about literally doing 'dgpk -i fooqt.deb'? Maybe
I'm not reading you correctly.

Anway, having just set up fpc and lazarus snapshots under Ubuntu 11.04
(and since we obviously all want everything always), this is how you
might succeed:

1. Unpack the Snapshot .deb.tar to whatever/
2. sudo dpkg -R -i whatever/
3. If there are complaints about missing dependencies, open Synaptics
afterwards, do "Fix broken packages" -> "Apply" and, normally, you
should be fine.

I also noticed that the Lazarus i386-deb Link on the Snapshot page leads
to a package that gives you "LCLBase not found" (or similar) errors.

I used this package, which worked, and which also has a more recent date:

ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/snapshots/lazarus-0.9.30.1.30409-20110510.i386.deb.tar
