The location of the iftex package has been changed: it is now in tex\generic instead of tex\latex; the latex\iftex folder is now indeed empty, but the generic\iftex folder is full. I did not have to reconfigure LyX, iftex.sty is still found when included in the preamble.

and could not properly address the correct location of the iftex pacakge.
