That worked. First, I copied the original .lyx to
-lyxformat-508.lyx, then ran
$>/usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx -lyxformat-508.lyx -o .lyx
That successfully converted the original to format 544, which the frontend was
able to render.
Is it possible that there's a bug in the automagic process?
I'm running the installation from the rpm packages distributed for Fedora core
35/36.
