The LaTeX-package floatflt that we use for wrap floats has been deleted in 
TeXLive and MikTeX:

So from now on new LyX users won't be able to use wrap floats nor compile the manuals. This was the reason why we got so many complaints abpout the manuals the last days.

As first reaction I contacted the package author if he agrees to change the package license and remove the nosell statement. But I guess he's not responding since the floatflt package has not been updated since 10 years now.

For LyX 1.6, I rewrote the wrap floats stuff so that we now use wrapfig. But shall we do in the meantime for LyX 1.5.4. I could remove the explanation of wrap floats but don't like this solution. Any ideas?

regards Uwe
