[root@socrates /root]# grep non-free /etc/apt/sources.list [root@socrates /root]# apt-get install lyx Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
