In fact, I have it readable in the local git repo :

jp at pelican:/ext/lyx/master$ ls -l lib/unicode_alphanum_variants
-rw-r--r-- 1 jp jp 8675 25 mars  17:55 lib/unicode_alphanum_variants

but not in the local/share tree :

$ find /usr/local/share/lyx-2.5.0~devel -name unicode_alphanum_variants
jp at pelican:/ext/lyx/master$

And I do not have the message if I run src/lyx from the build tree.

Does this explain the problem ?
