In the past I could download and install Android SDK separately. I cannot find it any more on Google’s Developer site, only Android Studio, which supposedly contains the SDK too (?). When starting the Android Studio it looks for the SDK.
I installed the Ubuntu (I’m using 16.10 Yakkety Yak) repo’s Android SDK, that didn’t help much because it is in /usr/lib/android-sdk with root privileges and Android Studio disses it. Now I’m scratching my head how I going to scrape all of that off as soon as I find out where can I install an SDK from.
I did check at least 2-3 Stack Overflow Questions on the topic, but all of them seems to be outdated, so please be very careful to mark this as a duplicate.
I have to add that I had both the SDK and the Studio installed before on my system. That turns out to be crucial info.

Well, after wiping the .Android-Studio-2.x and .android directories form my home, Android Studio offered the installation of the SDK. So the cause was leftover of previous installs, I haven’t mentioned that fully in my question.
