I am not sure about the procedure to download lyx 2.3.2 from

Should I first download qtbase5-dev (>=5.6.0) from Other Packages
related to lyx and what does

  * build-depends

  * build-depends-indep

mean? What else is recommended for downloading and is it done before
or after lyx download?
I thought that we already solved this?

Yes, Paul, you are right. But this is my problem: I am (unfortunately) on LinuxMint (I used before Debian) and there all the entries in the sources.list are commented out telling me to use the starter>mintupdate.

There is furthermore a folder sources.list.d which contains these lists:

lyx-devel-release-xenial.list       openjdk-r-ppa-xenial.list
official-package-repositories.list rwky-graphicsmagick-xenial.list
official-source-repositories.list   ubuntu-defaults.list
openjdk.list                        webupd8team-java-xenial.list

I would assume that I have to insert the proposed line

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main

in lyx-devel-release-xenial.list

which contains so far these two lines:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu xenial main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu xenial main

I would like to go back to Debian and install it but am afraid that I might make things even worse, as it usually does if I change things.
