Go here and get the .deb file: http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/lyx-common/download Once you have the .deb file, right click on it and install it with gDebi package installer. You can also install it from the command line or with Synaptic, but gDebi is easier because it's just a couple of mouse clicks. In theory you could also add it with upgrade if you could figure out the right repository. I have had bad luck trying to figure out exactly which repo a program is in. I just find the .deb file and install it manually.
