Hello,
I have just installed FPC-2.0.2-0 and Lazarus-0.9.16-0  on a Linux
Fedora FC4 system.
When I start lazarus I get a lot of popups advising that a package is
installed but cant find the lpk file.
I have checked the directories and the lpk files seem to be there,
for instance, Printer4Lazarus the directory structure is
 /usr/lib/lazarus/components/printers
   /lib/i386-linux/ This sub-directory has a number of files similar to
the ones below
   /lib/readme
   /sample
   /unix
   /win32
 makefile
 makefile.fpc
 osprinters.pas
 Printers4Lazarus.pas
 Printers4Lazarus.lpk
 Printersdlgs.pp
 Printersdlgs.lrs
 readme.txt
How do I fix this?

Regards Paul

The IDE searches the file Printers4Lazaru.lpk.
There are two ways:

a) Either open the file once as the normal user. This will automatically
save the full filename in history list of the users configs.

b) Or add a Printers4Lazaru.lpl file to lazarus/packager/globallinks/.

Not real sure this will fix it but I ran into this issue in the past and was told about the above. What I did was open the file from the ide (Printers4Lazaru.lpk0 - then closed and it worked after.

Thanks John for that, I have selected each file in the Components>Open Package 
file menu option and clicked on install and as you say they are there when you 
restart.

Thanks a lot Paul
