That's not LyX's error message, but LaTeX's (or polyglossia's for that
matter).

You get the message as well, LaTeX is just not aborted (since it's a
warning, actually).

Yes, we can (and will) do that. But it's getting annoying, to be
honest. This is the fourth time a new package for libertine is released
and the old one declared obsolete over the last 5 years. We had
libertine-type1, which was then declared obsolete by libertine (or
libertine-legacy), which was then declared obsolete by a new libertine-
type1. Now libertineRoman declares libertine-type1 obsolete. This is
just crazy.
