Control: retitle -1 Clean LyX install fails to configure correctly
Control: reassign -1 lyx
Control: tag -1 patch
Control: affects -1 sdcc
Confirmed that this is a LyX issue. A fresh install of LyX results in
the same /usr/share/lyx/configure.py failure, and removing ~/.lyx/ on an
existing install reproduces the issue. It does not occur when ~/.lyx/ is
already setup. Problem is related to the move to Python 3 and
comparisons of bytes and strings.
Following patch fixes things for me:
