[Solved] LaTeX and LyX problems after recent update

After the recent TeX update, problems arose that were already discussed in another thread, the solution is in a post by bender02. Because I use LyX instead of the "normal" latex command line tool, I was getting the following:

The layout file requested by this document,
scrbook.layout,
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not
available. See the Customization documentation
for more information.
LyX will not be able to produce output.

I am just posting this here to make it easier for others that search for that LyX message to find the solution.

Great jstarek!

That information saved me!

Don't know why the TeX updates break so easily...

Thank you! You just saved me a lot of hassle in fixing LyX after the most recent TeX Live upgrade broke it.
