The package SdpoSerial misses the unit LResources.
This can mean: The package SdpoSerial misses the dependency to the
package LCL, but more likely is that the compiler found a
lresources.ppu from an older compiler. Compile the package with
-vut. Maybe you added a search path too much.

Yes, but since sdposeriallaz is missing something in the LCL, you
have to check if the right LCL package is used.
