* There is a widespread ban on postscript conversions across different
linux distributions and there are currently two way how to address
various image conversion errors when typesetting your documents:
- either manually remove the bans of EPS/PDF coders in ImageMagick
policy.xml configuration file
- or install alternative converters for bitmap <-> postscript.
In particular pdftoppm (poppler-utils) and tiff2ps (libtiff-tools)
are now recognized and activated in case LyX detects ImageMagick
policy ban. These will allow eps<->png(jpg) conversion chain to
be found when processing your documents.
Package maintainers of distributions (e.g. openSUSE or Debian derivates)
where ghostscript conversions of ImageMagick are banned can simply
add dependencies for poppler-utils and libtiff-tools to workaround
the problem.
