Comment # 3 on bug 944007 from Marcus Schaefer

everything zypper outputs is in the kiwi log file. on the commandline in case
of an error only the last lines of the zypper processing is displayed.
Depending on the cause of the error this excerpt might not provide the zypper
error message

The full stack of output is part of the kiwi log file, or on the console if you
call it with

   --logfile terminal
