Hi Sam, hi all, > Available LyX 1.5.3 checkinstall packages for *etch* and *dapper* on > ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/incoming/ Sam please don't take it as an offense but I'd highly recommend to not use those checkinstall packages for Debian/etch. The same reasoning apply for Ubuntu so you might want to read on as an Ubuntu user aswell. I'd like to see packages on backports.org but that doesn't seem to happen in the short term so instead of installing some checkinstall packages from an unknown source (my parents always told me to not take food from stranges, it's in some way similar to this case or do you like to give Sam your root passwort?) you could use a backport provided by Emilio Scalise. http://emiscabpo.wordpress.com/about/ Sure I can not prove if the binary packages were really build from the source packages in the same repo but at least there is a sane source package provided along with the binary packages and the binary packages have sane dependencys and version numbers. One backdraw is that you're forced to migrate to texlive from tetex if you're still using tetex. This will happen with lenny anyway but it will force you to download a few hundred MiB of texlive packages along with the new LyX and boost packages. Emilio: If you could change the texlive deps to texlive|tetex stuff (maybe take a lock at my bpo proposed packages) and maybe change the version extension to not look like backports.org (because they seem to not end up there) they would be my recommendation for Debian/etch users with a demand for LyX 1.5.x packages.
