There was indeed a conflict between two python distributions installed in my system: the distribution from Fedora and Intel python. This is also related to my other thread (Support for xfig graphics). I removed the intel distribution and now it seems that everything is working as it should.

Something is wrong with your python2 installation because that should not happen in a regular Fedora installation. I am not even sure if that could have been caused by setting PYTHONPATH... I have just tested a similar call like the one above and it works for me. One way to solve the problem in lyx is to install the python-unversioned-command package. That will make /usr/bin/python point to python3 because currently lyx is getting python2 as the python version and thus the error that you get. But again in this case this is just a workaround the problem that you have.

If you still have the 508 format file could you run: $ python2 /usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx -lyxformat-508.lyx > /dev/null The only difference from your command above is that this is running the converter using python2 and not python3 as it happens above.

Rudi, this should not ever happen, but bugs do happen. Just as Paul said you can run lyx2lyx from the command line to see where the problem occurs and tell us here.

What should I do in this case? You can try running lyx2lyx on the source file from the command line, using one or more options. The -v option makes output "verbose", which might include specifics about the error. The -n option tells it to ignore any conversion errors, after which you could try opening the resulting file and see if (a) it opens and (b) if so, does any of the content appear to be missing or screwed up.
