I don't know much about this stuff, but in general you do not want to upgrade several critical components at once. Ideally you should upgrade one system (e.g. LyX), test, if everything goes well, upgrade another system (e.g. Koma-Script), test, etc. And whenever you upgrade, you should always make sure you can easily downgrade. If you can't easily go back to how you had it before, take a step back and ask yourself "do I really need to upgrade"? You will learn through frustration that upgrades break things. This will always be true. But since you are learning more about Linux you will learn how to create a robust workflow and how to easily go back to how you had things before. Sounds like a frustrating issue. I hope you find a solution and don't have to redo all of the documents! Best of luck, Scott
