Thanks very much for your reply! I am using the debian installation packages in the testing repo, described here: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_release_version_for_Ubuntu#Long_version:_step_by_step (thanks, Vincent!!)
I notice that you mention LCL, and now that you mention it, it is ringing a bell. I think last night that things started working after I resolved an installation dependency conflict with two of the LCL installation packages. Might this have been the cause? If some LCL components were not installed properly, that could cause a problem with LazarusPackageIntf?
