Flashed LOS15.1 on Nexus 4 today and for the life of me I could not get Open GApps to flash via TWRP. Eventually had to flash LOS14.1 on Nexus 4 and OpenGApps for that version, and that seemed to work.
Is there a known issue with LOS15.1 and Open GApps?

What OpenGApps package are you trying to install? Mind you, N4 can barely fit Pico packgage on its system partition...If TWRP outputs an error for insufficient space, you might want to use a custom gapps-config script.
It was Pico and Nano for LOS 15.1, the smallest possible essentially.
I moved down to LineageOS 14.1 and GApps installed fine. There must be something wrong with the LOS15.1/Gapps8.1 package.
I have LOS 15.1 and Pico OpenGApps installed on my old mako, flashing both went smoothly, no errors whatsoever. Please, copy what is printed in the TWRP output log.
Don't worry about it right now, I have given the phone to a coworker for the time being as his phone broke.
I have two backup phones the Nexus 4 and the HTC M8.
My main phone is a Pixel XL2 so no rush on this.
Oppengapps pico doesn't fit. You need to exclude GoogleTTS if you want to install oppengapps pico
Personally, I also excluded the Google Dialer Framework in my set-up...
I'd read too many reports of trouble reaching 911 with various combinations of LineageOS and GApps dialer components. I'd rather avoid any uncertainty, by leaving every aspect of the dialer as 100% native LineageOS code.
Gotcha

Use this MindTheGapps zip: http://downloads.codefi.re/jdcteam/javelinanddart/misc/MindTheGapps-8.1.0-arm-20180807_213032.zip
I'm working on updating the normal mindthegapps zip, I just debugged this issue with someone on IRC today.
I tried MindTheGapps as well, when I booted into the OS it would say the Pixel Launcher has crashed and I could not setup the phone.
Do what I said. Use the exact zip I provided you. If you cannot read instructions, nobody can help you.
I noticed the build number difference after I posted that.
