ttf-lyx package in PPA should be fonts-lyx

[Reuben Thomas]

Having installed lyx from the PPA, I find its ttf-lyx package duplicates rather than replaces Ubuntu's fonts-lyx package; the latter name appears now to be canonical, as several other packages depend on it. Hence, the PPA's package should be renamed, and it should be an upgrade to ttf-lyx.

i prepared a fix on my testing PPA (for Trusty):

https://launchpad.net/~landronimirc/+archive/ubuntu/staging

Please test if this fixes the issue reported here.

Sorry, I can't see a ttf-lyx or fonts-lyx package in your staging PPA.

[Reuben Thomas (rrt)]

Ah, for some reason it doesn't show on the launchpad page. I can see the packages in the repo, and that looks fine.

[Liviu Andronic (landronimirc)]

I now pushed the new packaging to the official PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~lyx-devel/+archive/ubuntu/release

If that works for you, then I guess this bug can be closed.

Thanks, this is brilliant: I got the upgrade, and afterwards was able to purge the old ttf-lyx package.
