[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#337533: lyx: generation of pdf/ps shouldn't
fail if freshly-installed.

Package: lyx
Version: 1.3.4-2
Severity: important
When trying to generate a pdf or ps file, using lyx -e pdf file.lyx it's
not uncommon for lyx to fail due to its inability to find the "article"
class, or the "letter" class, etc.
This is fixed by running lyx -x reconfigure, but unfortunately, this needs an
Xserver attached.
This is experienced when running lyx in a freshly installed environment,
like a buildd.
It makes generating documentation from a lyx source impossible, thus
forcing us maintainers to manually generate files that could otherwise be
generated from source.
Therefore, it would be _really_ nice if lyx provided a solution. Either by
allowing lyx -x reconfigure with no Xserver attached, or by always being
ready to use upon fresh install (this one is, of course, the preferred
option).
