So the packages that failed to install where: yast-security yast-samba-clients yast-network It was possible to install them from the usb-key by deactivating the repos. The network seems not functional so the repos are not reachable. loging in as root on the console given and cd /home shows that the directoy is empty or that the /home partition cannot be read. So either the user has not been created or the unlocking of LUKS of a encrypted home does not work. Either root and swap do work as expected, although they are on an encrypted LVM too.
