How can I see what paths are part of the indylaz package?
I just installed it using OnLine Package Manager so I have no idea
where it is located.

Does not seem like the right way to do it, for one it will not be
portable to another Linux installation (the one I will move to on
Linux for instance)...

OK, I do know how to search for and find it but as I said it will not
be portable that way. I believe Lazarus should resolve this from the
package data...

For Lazarus 2.0.8 on my Windows 10 installation:
C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.0.8\config\onlinepackagemanager\packages\Indy10\System

For Lazarus 2.0.8 on my RPi4 installation:
~/.lazarus_2.0.8/onlinepackagemanager/packages/Indy10/System

and (Lazarus using fpc 3.2.0):

~/.lazarus_2.0.8_3.2/onlinepackagemanager/packages/Indy10/System
