I am still seeing the error on loading a (specific) package with missing 
dependencies, but I have been able to do some debugging to track down 
the error. It is clear I should have specified the platform in my 
original message, as I think the error will not manifest on windows. I 
think the error is in packager/packagesystem.pas:

933    function TLazPackageGraph.OpenDependencyWithPackageLink(

934      Dependency: TPkgDependency; PkgLink: TPackageLink; ShowAbort: 
boolean

935      ): TModalResult;
942    begin
943      NewPackage:=nil;
944      XMLConfig:=nil;
945      BeginUpdate(false);
946      try
947        AFilename:=PkgLink.GetEffectiveFilename;
948        if pvPkgSearch in Verbosity then
949          debugln(['Info: (lazarus) Open dependency: trying 
"'+Dependency.PackageName+'" in '+dbgs(PkgLink.Origin)+' links: 
"'+PkgLink.GetEffectiveFilename+'" ...']);
950 //debugln(['TLazPackageGraph.OpenDependencyWithPackageLink 
AFilename=',AFilename,' ',PkgLink.Origin=ploGlobal]);
951        if not FileExistsUTF8(AFilename) then begin

***Issue is here: FileExistsUTF8() returns true for a directory on 
Linux, (but false on windows) and the preceding GetEffectiveFilename 
just returns a directory
