Thanks juiceme and ade.
I guess it is time for a wiki page what to do before starting an upgrade?
- backup
- revert / unapply all patches
- deinstall CallRecorder
- disable all OpenRepos
- disable crond
- check system partition size for enough free space
- reset hostname back (if manually changed)
- more?

I had a huge mess when updating to 3.0.0.8 via CLI. I 'accidentally' updated via CLI and process started. But earlier via GUI it did not start claiming it needs 500MB on rootfs. (JollaC).
But CLI just downloaded everything and started installation. I thought "okay, if it starts let it do...". I folllowed and found an error during some droid package that it needs 18 MB on /. I freed up some space but probably too slow and update was finished/cancelled. Need to say I had to watch kids and did not really bother about the logs.
So I booted and had a mess of 2.2.1.18 and 3.0.0.8 packages, not working mail/calendar/... and not working pkcon/zypper/ssu!
