Bug Description

Binary package hint: lyx

$ lyx
../../../src/support/lassert.cpp(21): ASSERTION initialised_ VIOLATED IN ../../../src/support/Package.cpp:70
Assertion triggered in void lyx::doAssert(const char*, const char*, long int) by failing check "false" in file ../../../src/support/lassert.cpp:23
Aborted (core dumped)

Strangely enough, LyX starts normally when launched with gdb.
