Jes and Liviu,
both proposals did not work.
Will try on another list.
Thanks for taking your time. I appreciate it.

Thanks.Liviu,
However, I do not understand Step 1
On the PPA's overview page
How do I get this overview page?
This is the PPA Overview page:
https://launchpad.net/~lyx-devel/+archive/ubuntu/release
You simply need to:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lyx-devel/release
unfortunately not so simple:
my synaptic claims
OpenOffice.org-thesaurus-de-ch broken
if I try to remove (or purge) it, it is still there.
I don't see how the two are related. Try Edit > Unmark all or Fix
broken packages in Synaptic.
Liviu
I can't open synaptic (because of an error in the sources.list)
nor muon, the package manager of Kubuntu (package system could not be
initialized, configuration may be broken).
Have to see, what has gone wrong
Will probably try -after fixing this- to compile lyx from its source.
Wolfgang
Try to investigate /etc/apt/sources.list . Sometimes it's very fussy
about formatting, so if you did recent changes try to revert them.
Liviu
I have fixed that one (/etc/apt/sources.list)
However
openoffice.org-thesaurus-de-ch
gives me headaches; I can't remove nor purge it in synaptic
and it prevents me from using synaptic.
How to proceed?

Then update packages in Synaptic, and update LyX.

If you're using the most recent version of Ubuntu (or any version
from
Ubuntu 9.10 onwards), you can add a PPA to your system with a single
line
in
your terminal.
Step 1: On the PPA's overview page, look for the heading that reads
Adding
this PPA to your system. Make a note of the PPA's location, which
looks
like:
ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa
Step 2: Open a terminal and enter:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name
Replace ppa:user/ppa-name with the PPA's location that you noted
above.

Should I uninstall lyx and install it by compiling the source?
Should I
use
LyX 2.1.4 released. (July 30, 2015) instead of 2.1.3?
You can build from source if you want to. Easier would be to just use
the PPA to install 2.1.4:

What version of LyX? Did you install it from Ubuntu repos or from the
PPA? From memory, the LyX build in Ubuntu repos has spellchecking
disabled for some reason.
Liviu
I seem to remember that one has to install lyx anew in this case. Is
this
correct?
What exactly should I have installed for a working spellchecker? And
where?
Under Preferences>Paths
Hunspell dictionaries browse-box is grayed out and thus not clickable
hunspell packages are in various places such as usr/share usr/lib
