I found a workaround for this bug. Apparently this is actually the bug mentioned here
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-autoinstall/2009-09/msg00002.html
which existed in 11.2. It was fixed in 11.3, and then was subsequently
reintroduced and exists in 12.1 final.
When installing via autoyast, it's sufficient to add these two packages. When
installing straight from the DVD, it worked when I added all yast patterns (at
least one of which contains these packages).
