The useful files generated by configure.py are textclass.lst packages.lst lyxrc.defaults configure.log I think these files should be put in place only when configure.py has succeeded. This allows not to override anything in case of problem. Or maybe configure.log should always be overridden in order to know what happened. Another solution (but only if we managed to have exception handling) would be to provide the default textclass.lst (the one when using --without-latex-config) in case of problem. But I think it is difficult to do and feature prone. JMarc
