Paul,

The issue since the TeXLive2024 upgrade is lyx finding a pdflatex error.
While updating tlmgr and fmtutils from within /etc/cron.weekly earlier this
morning I ran it again manually just now and it exited with an error code 3:
No pages of output.
Transcript written on ptex.log.

I find no 'error' in ptex.log (attached.)

I need to get this issue resolved as I depend on LyX to produce documents
for clients and regulators. With a new installation of TeXLive2024 there
should have been no issues and no failures updating fmtutil.

Sigh,

Rich
