Umm, then I wonder if lynx didn't fail to upgrade

You have not used command "lynx" for long time?

I think you are right.
You might already done so but do the followings fix
the problem?

dpkg-divert --remove --rename --divert /usr/bin/lynx.nossl /usr/bin/lynx
dpkg-divert --remove --rename --divert /usr/share/man/man1/lynx.nossl.1.gz 
/usr/share/man/man1/lynx.1.gz
