Hi on a cleaned sid tex installation /usr/lib/texmf does not exists. texmf.cnf is in /etc/texmf/.
first install and reconfigure output: dpkg-reconfigure lyx-common grep: /usr/lib/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type Running update-lyxrc... done (no such file or directory sorry for the french messages, i should have changed the LANG before patching) I fixed the issue by replacing : if [ -e /usr/bin/texconfig ] && fgrep -q TEXMFMAIN /usr/lib/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf; then by if [ -e /usr/bin/texconfig ] && fgrep -q TEXMFMAIN /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf; then in lyx-common postinst. tetex-bin is in charge of the migration, so adding a versioned dependency on tetex-bin should avoid messing if we are in sarge or other in hte postinst. Cheers Alban
