The current lyx in unstable has more sensible dependencies: lyx depends on libforms0.89 libforms0.89 depends on libxpm4 and xlib6g xlib6g (a pseudo-package) depends on xlibs and libxaw6 xlibs provides libxpm4 > here is where the obvious problem occurs, is there a way to get lyx > without the nightmare of removing xlib? > > is there an undo in dselect? - sed is what i have been using on the > /var/lib/dpkg/status file -- Is this advisable?

That will get you to the built-in keyboard help screen. Craig
