I'm a long time user of cygwin, but have not participated in development
and thus unfamiliar with  "general package ownership" or "how to fix".

This seems like it would be easy to fix so others don't have to deal
with it.  Is this something I can help fix and if yes, can you provide
an initial direction?

My install was unaffected - it doesn't have the file that would be
manipulated: /etc/fonts/local.conf

=========== listing of lyx.sh ===========\
$ cat /etc/postinstall/lyx.sh/lyx.sh
#!/bin/sh

# Add /usr/share/lyx/fonts to /etc/fonts/local.conf
# if it is not already there.
if [ -f /etc/fonts/local.conf ]; then
    grep -q /usr/share/lyx/fonts /etc/fonts/local.conf
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
        sed 's/^<\/fontconfig>/<dir>\/usr\/share\/lyx\/fonts<\/dir>
<\/fontconfig>/' /etc/fonts/local.conf > /etc/fonts/local.conf.tmp
        mv -f /etc/fonts/local.conf.tmp /etc/fonts/local.conf
        fc-cache /usr/share/lyx/fonts
    fi
fi
