There is a solution. But then you should be comfortable dealing with
the related issues:
Copy the lyx2lyx directory from the newer version.
Case in point. I have the same issue on Fedora. I have a repository
where I have the latest released development version: 2.4.0~beta5.
While the first rc is not officially released I have backported the
lyx2lyx version to 2.4.0~beta5. Since at this moment the changes are
very small, regarding the file format, for most practical purposes this
allows me to open newer files with the old versions.
