Xubuntu 20.04: Qt Library

[John White]

This sounds like an excellent way to keep lyx up to date, but I am clueless 
about alternative repositories.  If they require github, I'm not interested.  
Lyx 2.3.2 ships with Debian Buster and it works fine for my purposes.  I have 
learned that adding software versions not in the Buster repository sometimes 
causes problems.  So I will probably keep using 2.3.2 until next summer or so 
when, I expect, Debian should come out with a new version.

Best,

John
