Thank you very much for the bug report. I am not quite sure what "locales" you are using. Are you seeing this bug with both "locales" English and Spanish? I don't have a local mga5 B1 installation. I cannot reproduce this bug in a cauldron 64 bit installation, using Okular as pdf viewer
Status: NEW => UNCONFIRMEDEver confirmed: 1 => 0
I tried Spanish locales in my Mageia 5 beta installation, and the English locales using a liveCD in live mode. I also use Okular as PDF viewer. Anyway, the problem might not be in the locales, because I managed to generate a document installing texlive-dist and texlive-texmf. Some required files seem to be in one of these packages. Maybe they should be installed with lyx

I'll be leaving town this coming Tuesday morning and I still have a few things to do.

According the list it's not on it.

I was able to duplicate this bug on the live-CD and also on my Cauldron after removing texlive-dist. I have now added this as a Requires.
