Thanks for the answers and the help.
Actually what you suggested was what I ended up trying, unfortunately more and more Sailfish functionalities died yesterday. I was strange to see that I could barely open any more apps.
pkcon refresh and all similar terminal based activities could not be performed I just got messages like deamon crashed while the action was performed or no such package found when I tried to reinstall lipstick.
In the end I couldn't even create a backup from the settings page it was constantly crashing.
App store/app registry error messages kept popping up every 5 minutes.
Internet connectivity was becoming unrealiable/instable.
Andoid apps could not be startet.
I retarted the phone around 20 times but that seemed to make it even worse. Sometimes it took minutes till basic functionalities were available again.
For example: I wrote that my emails are not there altough the acounts were still configured correctly. 20 minutes later the emails were working again but clicking on a bigger mail made the client crash !??.
So I made the final decision: factory reset....which was not working either !
I needed to restart the phone 2 more times before the reset actually started.
I really wonder what was going on yesterday. To tell the truth it almost felt like a virus behaviour.
Very strange.
After the reset I then made directly all updates and now the phone is back to live! :-)
Just two problems are left:
1) I saved the contacts.db in hope that I can simply copy it back and overwrite the empty one, does anybody know if this is possible?
2) Setting up email as imap I am missing the always up to date option, after configuring my email manually, any ideas what went wrong I know this behaviour happens when you change the settings from pop3 to imap but with a freshly configured imap I didn't see it.
Update:
1) I will ask this in a seperate question.
2) the switch to the always up to date setting can be done AFTER the account set up is finished. You have to go back to the settings for the account and then you can select it. Didn't see this before I thought you can do it directly with all other details at once.
I close this thread since the solution was resetting the phone.
I also get now constantly the message Problem with App Registry. fixing it the usual way with the Jolla utilities doesn't help after couple of minutes it appears again.
Restarting the phone worked now several times without bricking it but patches I can't disable anymore.
I start to think that I might be stuck in an endless loop of broken lipstick missing Zypper and App-Registry problem

Jolla account also doesn't seem to work correctly. If I try to refresh the account details I get the message that the file cannot be saved...
I really don't know what's going on here...
