If I'm not wrong this package is the code that glues the IDE and the
components in a package so it is logical that is needed by a package
as a requirement.

The problem arises when you change something in the code that is being
used by the lazaruspackageintf and meanwhile you change the code
generator (fpc). So a typical example, you update your fpc and change
something in your package, so it must be recompiled but the linker can
not link the lazaruspackageintf because it was generated by an older
fpc.

The direct solution is going to rebuild lazarus and select the rebuild
of lcl, package registration, ide interface and IDE. Usually the clean
and build is not needed, so it should happend fast. You can try to
only rebuild package registration.
