Could not add user during installation

I installed the latest development version (42.2 alpha 2) today. I first got an error about repositories. When I continued, I got an error which is worth a bugzilla entry (I was told). Unfortunately, I don’t remember any details. I then wasn’t asked to add a user, I was asked to provide a password for root. I couldn’t log in after the first reboot, as there was no user, not even root. I then booted to run level 3 only, logged in as root, started the window system with startx, started yast, added a user, shut down, and rebooted. Now I could log in.

I had installed Leap 42.1 on the same computer, same partitions, without any problems, yesterday.

Any clue what might have gone wrong?

Thanks, Stephan
