See https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1094963#c35 Symptom: Using the offline upgrade feature of the installation medium to upgrade Leap 42 with an encrypted data partition such as /home crashes YaST when selecting the previous installation. Reason: Encrypted data partitions are listed in /etc/fstab by device mapper name, eg. /dev/mapper/cr_home. In the installation environment YaST cannot relate that path to autodetected volumes (boo#1094963). Solution: Prior to upgrading, change /etc/fstab to mount the encrypted partitions by UUID instead of by path. For example if /etc/fstab contains /dev/mapper/cr_home /home xfs nofail 0 2 Use the following command to determine the UUID: # blkid|grep cr_home /dev/mapper/cr_home: UUID="12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890AB" TYPE="xfs" Then change the in fstab line to UUID=12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890AB /home xfs nofail 0 2 After this modification of /etc/fstab yast can perform the upgrade without crashing.
