Note:
By default the IDE creates project dependencies only with a name,
*without* any version or file preference. That means the project will
take any package that fits the name, which usually is the last opened
lpk with that name, which could be 1.4 or 1.5 or whatever.

An example for 1.5 fpspreadsheets in a sub directory of the
fpspreadsheets repository, should set the "preferred" file name (right
click on the dependency) to enforce loading the 1.5 version.
