As the subject sets, a minimal install of Leap 42.1 does not configure snapper as part of the installation

(it's possible default installs also dont, but I've only tested it manually with minimal here)

Steps to reproduce

Install Leap 42.1 Milestone 1 or newer builds
Select Minimal Installation (Server) on the Desktop Selection, all default options
Boot the resulting system

Expected Results
snapper list-configs should list /

Actual Results
snapper list-configs has no configs

Loading up YaST software selection fails, producing the following message when they start

> The config 'root' does not exist. Likely snapper is not configured.

The command then times out, never letting the user get to YaST - this is why I've marked the bug as Critical, as the YaST Software Selection module is kind of super important

Huha - can you check it?

From the logs:

/usr/lib/snapper/installation-helper is part of the "snapper" package, and it should also be in the inst-sys. IIRC "installation-helper step 1" is called from within the inst-sys. I don't see how this could be missing there.
Comment 3 Stefan Hundhammer 2015-08-18 13:37:21 UTC 
For the record: I just talked to Richard, and it seems to be possible that snapper is on that distro, but not in the inst-sys yet. Need to check.

Same as bug #943066.
