I think the stuff about UTF-8 right above the error message has nothing to do with the error. The error just got discovered after that log line.
Paul, Makes sense to me.
Taking the error message at face value, it looks like you somehow ended up with a very recent (June 2023) version of TeXLive with a not quite so recent (May '23) version of one of the files (expl3.sty). So maybe an installation or update of TeXLive got bollixed up? At any rate, it's unrelated to LyX. Somebody reported this <https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/662487/expl3-sty-date-mismatch-after-tl-update> with an earlier version of TeXLive and posted what looks like a fix.
Yes, I did a tl update earlier this month. Just did another one (34 updates packages.) Perhaps I need to make this a weekly cron task for root. Thanks for the URL. Reading that thread I just ran `fmtutil-sys --all' and now have a different issue: ############################################################################## fmtutil: Error!

Visit the log files in directory /usr/share/texmf-var/web2c for details. ############################################################################### This is a summary of all `failed' messages and warnings: `pdfetex -ini -jobname=amstex -progname=amstex -translate-file=cp227.tcx *amstex.ini' failed `pdfetex -ini -jobname=bamstex -progname=bamstex -translate-file=cp227.tcx bamstex.ini' failed There are 14 .log files in web2c. Guess that's where my afternoon will be spent. Thanks, Rich -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
