log of combustion and zypper.log

Recently, the disk-encryption-tool CI started failing reproducibly because the
image no longer boots within 5min. Some logging showed that it's stuck in
transactional-update's selfupdate during the combustion phase in the initrd.

I was able to collect zypper.log of such a hang. Last few lines:

There is no /etc/resolv.conf, so I'd expect this to fail immediately. Maybe
this is a race condition, where curl fails before zypper sets up waiting?

I wasn't able to reproduce this locally in a container.
