Comment # 14 on bug 1089823 from Fabian Vogt

I'll try to explain the bug again.

At the beginning of the installation, YaST basically does the following:

mkfs.btrfs <device> ...
[...]
/usr/lib/snapper/installation-helper --step 1 /mnt ...
^ This fails. Ignored.
/usr/lib/snapper/installation-helper --step 2 /mnt ...
^ This fails. Ignored.
[...]
Download and install packages into /mnt.
Do some configuration in /mnt.
Install the bootloader.
[...]

At the end, YaST does
/usr/lib/snapper/installation-helper --step 3 /mnt ...
^ This fails. Ignored.
/usr/lib/snapper/installation-helper --step 4 /mnt ...
^ This fails. Ignored.
chroot /mnt snapper --no-dbus set-config KEY=value
^ This fails. Not ignored.

There is no error message at all about any failed calls to installation-helper.
