Once I installed more of the texlive-* packages (based on what I wanted/needed), it went away. I think this is fine though since LaTeX isn't really needed to have LyX. So I think it's not really a problem. I think it should be fine for them to be installed separately, especially on an OS that has a decent package management system with both in the standard repositories, and it's not always clear what latex distribution the person wants to use anyway (so they should decide independently rather than being forced into it by the dependencies). All this got me a little curious, so I used apt-rdepends to ask what the dependencies for lyx actually were. Here is some of the output from that (the parts I thought were relevant): lyx Depends: libboost-regex1.54.0 Depends: libboost-signals1.54.0 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.15) Depends: libenchant1c2a (>= 1.6.0) Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) Depends: libmythes-1.2-0 Depends: libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.7.0~beta1) Depends: libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.8.0) Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.6) Depends: lyx-common (= 2.0.6-1build1) Depends: xdg-utils Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) lyx-common Depends: dpkg (>= 1.14.18) Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2) Depends: tex-common (>= 3) -Jacob
