Title:
  LyX 1.6.1 (Jaunty) russian support totally broken

Status in lyx package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lyx

  Current LyX won't convert files containing Russian characters to PDF, DVI or anything else. Neither can it print anything.
  Error message: LaTeX error: File 'koi8-r.def' not found.
  Error description: 
   \endinput
                 ^^M
  *** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)

  Changing encoding to for example CP1251 won't help (similar error message), changing to uft8 causes lots of errors, forst of them being:
  Error message: Package babel error: No Cyrillic encoding definitions files were found.
  Error description: 
          lcyenc.def, lwnenc.def, ot2enc.def.}
                                                  %
  Your installation is incomplete.
  You need at least one of the following files:
    x2enc.def, t2aenc.def, t2benc.def, t2cenc.def,
    lcyenc.def, lwnenc.def, ot2enc.def.

  
  Installing anything containing "LaTeX" or "TeX" doesn't seem to help.
  LyX 1.6.1-1, Ubuntu Jaunty alpha 1 (the problem occured in previous versions of LyX as well).
  I can also mention that the same version of LyX works under Mandriva (2009) so it seems to be a package inconsistency rather than LyX error.
