Sorry for this Mail. I have gone into the recovery mode and checked various things. Starting the PC again brought me back to x windows screen. Synaptics told me there are defect packages which were repaired. Afterward I was able to install the 2.0.6 lyx. I guess, what happens was that in sudo synaptic update I might not have waited long enough ... Anyway it is now working again and I can use now the lyx2.0.6. Thanks for the help and sorry for the noise. Wolfgang
