Replacing the Debian texlive packages with an external TeX distribution can lead to dependency problems. (either LyX will not install as no tex package is installed, or you waste place with a second (local) TeX installation and must assure that these two do not clash). I would rather recommend to keep the Debian-packaged texlive (maybe update/add selected packages in the /usr/local/ tree if necessary). Depending on the used hardware and other installed programs I'd also recommend to upgrade to Debian/testing -- this ensures a smooth upgrade to LyX 1.5.5 and (currently) TeXLive 2007. At least this is my experience. Günter

Depending on the number of packages that need to be upgraded, mixing is not always bad. I was running a mixed system for years before switching to testing for good. I agree that with the heavy dependencies of LyX (QT) you might get problems, though. Günter

Those packages are only for etch and there they work 1.5.5 is in testing and unstable and there are only minor things fixed in 1.5.6. (Well depending on what you use ...)

Well donno if upgrading to lenny now is what he wants and mixing packages from etch and lenny is nothing I would ever recommend. So if you switch to lenny this will be an all or nothing choice.

Instead of third-party extensions you might be safer with mixing Debian/stable with Debian/testing. Add e.g. deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib > I also tried to update texlive et Co., but the latest version is 2005 Debian/testing provides texlive 2007 und LyX 1.5.6 apt will make sure that all dependencies are met. If you do not want an "update orgy", ensure that the "update all packages to latest version" feature is turned off. good luck Günter
