Hi Michael:
TeXlive can work because each is in a different folder and you are the
one you decide on your route which you work (/usr/local/texlive/2013 or
2016).
I think that if you have installed an earlier version of lyx and install
later, the lyx executable will be overwritten and the current work anymore.

Mageia5's software manager offers to install LyX 2.1 and if done will
automatically install Texlive 2013 along with it.
I decided to install the most recent versions available and found LyX
2.2 and Texlive 2016 that could be installed over the internet.
Thinking of possible conflicts I removed Lyx 2.1 and Texlive2013 and
then installed first Texlive2016 (as user) and then LyX 2.2 (as
administrator). Meanwhile things are running as I want them to.
Question:
Would there have been a conflict without prior removal of the old versions?
Or putting it the other way around: Would there be a conflict if
installing these older versions again using Mageia's software manager
and then have both versions installed?
PS: I think there is an option to mark packages as "never install" or
something.
Thanks and cheers,
Michael
