(More package/component install fun for me -- thanks everyone for all your help to date).
I am getting the error listed as the title, in Delphi 2007. Package A is
Loren:Requires clause, since it is a .dpk, you can't USES a packages afaik.
I'd simply clean up the $(BDSDIR)/projects/ dir, my own projects dir to remove B.dcp and all dcu's for the units that were in B and then rebuild A.
Another thing to check if there is a component registered that depends on B.
