[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#426027: lyx-qt needs tex2lyx for latex conversion

[Bob McGowan]

Package: lyx-qt
Version: 1.4.3-3
Severity: important


This is a repeat of the following bug:
  386662 [FIXED lyx 1.4.3-1]:  lyx-qt: Missing tex2lyx, cannot import
  latex files

The file 'tex2lyx' is in the 'lyx' package.  'lyx-qt' neither depends on
nor recommends installing 'lyx'.  Attempts to import latex files fail
with an error message window titled "LyX: Cannot convert file" and the
message "An error occurred whilst running -f 'main.tex' 'main.lyx'".

Installing the lyx package and manually 'fixing' 'Tools->Preferences'
for the 'Latex(plain) -> LyX' converter to have 'tex2lyx' as the command
name fixes the problem.
