This might be useful in case it impinges on the recent Lazarus package management changes... if not, no problem ;)

Running fpcup trying to get some updates, I forgot synapse has switched repository and I had deleted the entire synapse directory - so the package is not available (and it had been installed in Lazarus).

When fpcup ran this command
C:\development\lazarus_fpctrunk\lazbuild.exe
"--pcp=c:\development\lazarussettings_fpctrunk"
"--build-ide=-dKeepInstalledPackages" "--build-mode=" I got this output (Laz had been compiled with -g -gl): .....
TFPCTargetConfigCache.Update: has changed
invalid Package Link: file
"C:\development\extras\synapsetrunk\laz_synapse.lpk" does not exist.
