Comment 11 for bug 238580

> Probably reporting it to upstream (Debian) would help getting this into Ubuntu.

I checked Debian sid / unstable, and lyx does pull in epstopdf. So I think this bug does not apply to Debian. This is why:

[code]
$ aptitude why texlive-extra-utils
i lyx Recommends texlive-latex-recommended
i A texlive-latex-recommended Recommends prosper (>= 1.00.4+cvs.2006.10.22-1)
i A prosper Depends texlive-pstricks
i A texlive-pstricks Recommends texlive-extra-utils
[/code]

Now in Ubuntu jaunty, the texlive-latex-recommended does not depend on prosper, and I think therefore texlive-pstricks is not pulled in. Ok, arguable lyx should depend on texlive-extra-utils directly, but there is no reason to change it in Debian.

Of course there is another bug involved here: why does ps2pdf not work properly? And should it?
