All recent snapshots of TW fail when trying to install using a separate partition for /var. The problem is described in https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1060741.
I don't think this is the problem. I have /var on a separate partition too (on several systems) and none of them have problems with recent snapshots. Since the error reported is a segmentation fault, I suspect something else is going on. Have you tried rebuilding the rpm database (rpm --rebuilddb)?
Is the rpm database stored on /var?
/var/lib/rpm/
Unfortunately, rebuilding the rpm database changed nothing; however, it seems that putting /var/tmp on a separate partition would be better than putting all of /var there as I expect to have several versions share that partition.
I don't think /var can be shared, it contains "variables", files that depend on each machine. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
