OK, I tried this but apparently yours and my lazarus differ...
- Used menu Project/Project Inspector
- A window pops up with a button on top marked with +
- After clicking this a new window pops up with 3 tabs:
  "Add editor files"
  "New requirement"
  "Add files"
as you can see no tab named "Dependency" where I can do anything like
the suggested action.
However, the "New requirement" tab has a combobox with "Package name"
as its designator so I used that to select the SDpoSerialLaz package.

Then I also removed two Sdpo-related paths from the Project options
and made a quick compile. Working!

Thanks, this looks much cleaner.
