[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#575959: Bug#575959: lyx-common: revtex4 lyx template no longer works

[Matthew Foulkes]

Hi Sven,

After purging LyX and reverting the changes I had made to get RevTeX
working in the past, I installed LyX 1.6.7 from unstable. Opening lyx
and choosing

  File -> New From Template ... -> revtex4.lyx

now works fine.

Choosing

  File -> New From Template ... -> revtex.lyx

appears to work until you try to run latex on the document, when a
pop-up appears with the error meessage

  LaTeX Error: File 'revtex.sty' not found.

This may cause difficulties for users with LyX or LaTeX documents made
using old versions of revtex, but fixing the problem would require
adding the old revtex.sty file to the texlive-publishers package. It is
not really a LyX problem.

Once these tests were finished I purged the unstable version of LyX and
re-installed Lyx 1.6.6 from testing. This produced exactly the same
results as 1.6.7. Are you sure the problem I reported had not been fixed
already?

Thanks for your help.

Matthew
