MOJAVE: This may be nothing, but I am being told there is a new version of fpcupdeluxe:
Please wait. Checking for updates.
New fpcupdeluxe version available
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/latest
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/download/v1.6.2m/fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-darwin-cocoa.zip
When I go and download the zip file (fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-darwin-cocoa.zip) from
either of those locations the zip file downloaded is time stamped 01 Oct 2018 at 10:07?
Am I looking in the wrong place, or is this just an aberration?
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY:Has anyone resolved the issue reported by @MISV on 6 Feb (and if so, how to get around it)?

I click "Create new Fppkg configuration
Error-MessageBox:
Problem with FPPkg configuration
Failed to create a new fppkg configuration. You will have to fix the configuration manually or reinstall Free Pascal
5)
I am stuck - seems the FPC installation of FPCDeluze no longer works. Will it help to download FPC manually?
The problem for me is I need to test FPC trunk since it seems there is a problem in FPC so Mac apps no longer will run on anything older than 1.14 - see this post: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,44159.0.html
Suggested Solution:
When you start Lazarus, you will get a dialog that allows you to select a fppkg directory. You must point it towards the FPC install directory.
On Windows, this can be:
C:\fpcupdeluxe\fpc
In normal (other cases) cases:
your_install_dir/fpc
Then use the button to create the fppkg configs. <<<<=====THIS DOES NOT WORK ERROR: PROBLEM WITH FPPKG CONFIGURATION ETC ETC
I have this error and I point to the correct Folder (in my case: ../fpcupdeluxe/fixes/fpc and I get exactly the same error: Problem with fppkg configuration etc etc, the suggested workaround does not work...
Based on advice, I installed FPC Fixes3.2 / Lazarus Trunk. The installation was fine, I just cannot get past this error on startup.
When finding a corrupt FPPKG folder and not being able to create a new one, the suggestion is to
'Fix it manually'. I have no idea how to even start doing that?
EDIT:Did a complete clean install to a clean folder of Trunk/Trunk and EXACTLY the same result.
Is this possibly a MOJAVE thing? I don't see a lot of non-macOS complaints (BTW, set the permissions to everyone:Read/Write) from the fpcipdeluxe root folder)
EDIT EDIT:I'm going insane. I was getting somewhat disappointed and depressed so went to the pharmacy (just to get some standard meds nothing drastic) and came back . I now run both versions of installed lazarus and WTF they both run as expected ie. normally nothing abut FPPKG errors etc etc. I'm sorry, I cannot explain it, I did NOTHING and I don't mean I did nothing out of the ordinary, I mean I did absolutely nothing. I could try another install, try to run lazarus and if it fails wait an hour or two, meh... This is working now. Regardless, I still think (OSX Mojave) there is an issue, after installing fpcupdeluxe whatever versions, with fppkg. Is there/are there any log files I can send to those in the know so that they might get a better feel for the problems, happy to do that?
