Messages to the Debian mailing lists will NOT make it to the list

You can install both packages to make Lyx and other programs work.
First purge both packages. Then install xforms and rename the library to
something else. Then purge xforms which leaves the library under the new
name. Then install xforms0. Then rename the xforms library back to it's
original name. You now have both libraries and everything works fine.
I did this and Lyx works OK as well as programs which rely on xforms0.
Cheers,
Victor
