lyxpreview2bitmap.py crashed with NameError in extract_metrics_info()

[Jeremy Boden]

Binary package hint: lyx

Lyx appears to have difficulty in open .lyx files - works for one file but not for others.
Opening lots of Lyx instances *sometimes* allows a workround.
The new backports for qt4 have been installed (on 24/05/08).
These do not appear to fix the outstanding backport issues.

This is the 64bit version.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug 228067, so it is being marked as such. This bug was fixed in Intrepid on July 11 with the successful building of binary packages of LyX 1.5.5-1. The same bug in Ubuntu 8.04 Backports (Bug #242648), was fixed on July 2.
