Hello Lazarus mailing list!

I have updated my Lazarus to rev.21928 and I receive this error message with this build:

The package "rotursoft" is installed, but no valid package (.lpk) was found. A broken dummy package was created.

I have tried to clean up the content of "~/.lazarus", but I get it always.

What can I do?

Could it be related to older fpc?

Mac OS X 10.5.8 Intel
Lazarus rev. 21928
Freepascal rev. 13269

It means, you started a lazarus, which has an installed package named "rotursoft". The IDE failed to find the rotursoft.lpk.

If rotursoft.lpk still exists, open it once via the IDE. If you deleted rotursoft.lpk then you should uninstall it (Packages / Configure installed packages).
If you already uninstalled the package, then you started the old lazarus.

What did you do?

Unlikely.

Thanks for reply, but...

I didn't do any change in package or lazarus configuration.

I start Lazarus usually from dock, which points to /Application/Lazarus.app/Contents/MacOS/lazarus which is symlink to /Users/test/lazarus/startlazarus

When I open terminal and jump into directory /Users/test/lazarus/ and call for ./startlazarus, then Lazarus starts fine without any error message. The component palette is filled up with my components and my project is built fine.

PS: Even my project cannot be started from dock, but from terminal can.

Roland, is rotursoft located at lazarus/components dir? if so, try to:
- uninstall the package
- move to some place other than lazarus/components dir.
- install the package again.

Mattias, the bug has been introduced with r21923-21924 Prior with r21922 everything works fine.
I guess it's related to this issue http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=14700

If a custom package is not placed at lazarus/components (or lazarus/) dir, it can be used by IDE fine, otherwise it gives the error (described by Roland).

thanks,
dmitry

Is this OS X 10.4 or 10.5?
How do you start from Terminal?

1. It's fully updated 10.5.8 Intel.

2. simply "cd /User/test/lazarus"
"./startlazarus"
