Standard and backport Debian lyx packages assume that only one version of LyX should be installed ont the system. They do not use a version suffix for configuration data and user directory. I use a debian packaged lyx for productive work and a home-compiled one (with version suffix) for development. ... > E: Probleme können nicht korrigiert werden, Sie haben zurückgehaltene > defekte Pakete. It seems there is some installed package/program that depends on the non-backport version of a library while lyx-backported depends on the newer, backported version of this library. This may be solved by upgrading more packages to the backported version. I use aptitude to check and resolve such conflicts. Günter
