Hi Abou,

One package fails to build in the lazarus autopkgtest.
     packager/registration/fcl_unicodertl.lpk

usr/lib/lazarus/4.0/packager/registration/lazaruspackageintf.pas(29,3)
Fatal: (10022) Can't find unit System.Classes used by LazarusPackageIntf

The failing code is

interface

uses
   {$IFDEF FPC_DOTTEDUNITS}
   System.Classes;
   {$ELSE}
   Classes, SysUtils, fgl;
   {$ENDIF}


There does not seem to be a quick easy fix, neither
     Classes;
on its own
or
     Classes, SysUtils, fgl;
compile.

This lpk is new in version 4.0, so is clearly a regression.
(It doesn’t not build on Arch either)


{ Maybe we should stick with 3.8 for Trixie?
It seems a solid version, and the toolchain freeze was March 15th.
I guess version 4 could always be backported when finally released? }

Cheers,
Peter
