this is not debian problem at all. stable ships 1.6.7. the problem is that ubuntu takes testing (or unstable?) release and then does not bump important fixes as an regular update. my interpretation was thats most probably because there is no one interested in lyx maintenance, not that ubuntu is against bumping new version per se. but i know very little about buntu policies. pavel
