So yes, I use backports. Not marking this as "solved" because package is broken. Synaptic marked Lazarus 3.6 as an "available upgrade", I clicked OK and instead it installed v3.6 and kept v3.0, so effectively I had two versions installed. And when I uninstalled both, and tried to reinstall Lazarus, it installed v2.2.
Under preferences I have "install latest version".

Abort.
I have synaptic configured to install the latest version. Yet it chose an old, obsolete version of Lazarus.
I had to force it to install v 3.6
apt-get install lazarus-ide-3.6
Which did not install the main files. Just non functional icons and menus.
apt-get install lazarus-ide-gtk2-3.6
The following additional packages will be installed:
lazarus-src-3.6 lcl-3.6 lcl-gtk2-3.6 lcl-nogui-3.6 lcl-units-3.6
lcl-utils-3.6
The following NEW packages will be installed:
lazarus-ide-gtk2-3.6 lazarus-src-3.6 lcl-3.6 lcl-gtk2-3.6 lcl-nogui-3.6
lcl-units-3.6 lcl-utils-3.6
Which fixed the problem...
Don't know if I should mark it "solved". Anyone attempting to upgrade Lazarus to the latest version will have the same problem.
Anyways, thanks for the help.
I was uninstalling/re-installing it through synaptic, not the command line. Which gave me the error in the first message.

Updated Lazarus though synaptic from v 3.0 to v 3.6. Said it was upgrading. When it was done I removed Lazarus 3.0(usually done automatically, but I had to do it manually).
Lazarus 3.6 is working perfectly.
The problem is I keep getting nagged to remove Lazarus:
apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
lazarus-ide lazarus-ide-3.6 lazarus-ide-gtk2-3.6 lazarus-src-3.6 lcl-3.6
lcl-gtk2-3.6 lcl-nogui-3.6 lcl-units-3.6 lcl-utils-3.6
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
"no longer required"? What's this , AI deciding what I do or don't require? LOL
Seriously, how do I get rid of that message? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, message is the same.
PS I don't want to lose Lazarus configuration files.
TIA

Didn't have it in Chimaera either, and everything worked..Things change from release to release. It is always a good idea to read the Release Notes and also this page to make sure that your sources.list is configured correctly.
I did read the install instructions. Since the drivers were in non-free in Chimaera, I assumed they'd be there in Daedalus. As boughtonp pointed out, they should have emphasized that was not the case.
So added this line to sources.list
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ daedalus non-free-firmware.
apt-get update and apt-get upgrade
My previously installed drivers were all updated.
The following packages will be upgraded:
amd64-microcode firmware-amd-graphics firmware-linux-nonfree
firmware-misc-nonfree firmware-realtek intel-microcode
6 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Put VLC on automatic. No video. dmesg loaded with errors.
Re-booted hoping the kernel would recognize the updated driver modules, and nothing.
Back to "disabled".
Am I missing something? Do I need to modprobe like in the old days?
Note: This is just a minor annoyance. I don't do games or anything video-heavy. Just the occasional video.
TIA

Nope.

If it doesn't risk anything(I've been through nvidia hell),I'll add it to my sources.list.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Updated to daedalus. Opened a video with VLC - no image. Only sound.
Checked dmesg ... a pile of error messages:
[drm:radeon_cs_ioctl [radeon]] *ERROR* Invalid command stream !
[drm:radeon_uvd_cs_parse [radeon]] *ERROR*
out of 256MB segment!
Thought to myself - Oh <beep>, Radeon/AMD hell again.
Then opened the videos with the other media players and they worked fine.
So .. it was just VLC, the drivers were OK.
Then checked VLC settings. The new version on "automatic" defaults to "Hardware accelerated decoding" which the drivers don't support.
Fix:
VLC --> Tools --> Preferences --> Input/Codecs --> change the setting from automatic to disabled.
Done.
No idea why Chaemera worked fine on "automatic" and daedalus does not.
