Weird. This built fine in my sbuild environment for upload to the archive, but is now failing, so looks like one of the deps has changed. The failing build log includes:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/lyx/configure.py", line 1886, in <module> ret = checkLatexConfig(lyx_check_config and LATEX != '', bool_docbook) File "/usr/share/lyx/configure.py", line 1368, in checkLatexConfig retval = processLayoutFile(file, bool_docbook) File "/usr/share/lyx/configure.py", line 1316, in processLayoutFile % (classname, opt, desc, avai, prereq)) TypeError: %b requires a bytes-like object, or an object that implements __bytes__, not 'str' support/Systemcall.cpp (294): Systemcall: 'python3 -tt "/usr/share/lyx/configure.py" --binary-dir="/usr/bin/"' finished with exit code 1 LyX: Done!
