Your friend did a typical typo! zypper with an u… 
zupper up feature-xt9
Can someone upload a working german Presage-Keyboard?
I did try to follow the instruction of sailfishos-presage-predictor/utils/keyboard/README.md at master · sailfish-keyboard/sailfishos-presage-predictor · GitHub
but end up here:
[root@JollaC2 layouts]# ls

Or as an alternative, make xt9 for c2 great again
Thank you all for your help regarding predictive text input!
So I did run the following on my daily driver Sony Xperia 10 III:
mkdir xt9-rpms; for i in $(pkcon -p search name xt9 | tr -s ' ' | cut -s -f 2 -d ' ' | grep '\.jolla\.' | rev | cut -s -f 3- -d '-' | rev | tr '\n' ' '); do pkcon download xt9-rpms $i; sleep 1; done
My plan was to copy the resulting rpm packages to the C2 and install there.
However, after rebooting my Xperia 10 III it the keyboard is completely gone. It should not have been affected / deleted by above command?
I’ve tried to restart the keyboard from within the “Utils”, and I’ve tried to (re)install the rpm packages resulting from the command, rebooting etc.
The keyboard is gone, and this is my daily driver…
Any idea on how to get my keyboard back?
Your help is very much appreciated!!
Try doing devel-su pkcon install xz and then try again.

As you suspect, unless you installed one or more of the files, that command can’t be related to your keyboard being gone.
Something else must be the reason.
Did you install or uninstall any other software?
What do the following commands say?
systemctl --user status maliit-server
systemctl --user status xt9-server.service
But I guess in order to revert the installation, so something like:
devel-su
for pkg in feature-xt9 jolla-keyboard-settings-xt9 jolla-xt9 jolla-xt9-cp jolla-xt9-server patterns-sailfish-xt9
do
pkcon remove $pkg
done
pkcon install feature-xt9

My humble input… the above extracted from my X10III (SFOS 4.6.015), and manually copied and installed to to my X10V (SFOS 4.6.015) worked perfectly well. I now have perfectly working word prediction on my X10V.

systemctl --user status maliit-server => green active OK
systemctl --user status xt9-server.service => green active OK
I then used your command to revert the installation, it removed the packages but then it says:
Package not found: feature-xt9
Command failed: This tool could not find any available package.
I then check the services:
systemctl --user status xt9-server.service
Unit xt9-server.service could not be found.
Your kind help is highly appreciated!
To be more precise:
$ systemctl --user status maliit-server

Okay and is your keyboard back or not?
No, the keyboard is gone and missing. I’ve rebooted, used the “Utils” to reset keyboard, it’s all not working…
I’ve backed up most of the device (Signal seems difficult or not possible to backup, the Android App backup function doesn’t work), and as a next step I’d try to re-flash Sailfish in the hope to get my daily driver back.
Or do you have any other ideas how I could try to fix the keyboard?
Thank you very much!!
Then i got this:
[defaultuser@JollaC2 layouts]$ sh package-keyboard.sh Deutsch de_DE 0.1.0 deutsch-presage.qml deutsch-presage.conf

Keyboard with presage was selected and Keyboard-Service restarted. Keyboard is shown but no Presage working.
Have you installed “stock emoji keyboard with colors” patch?

Thank you so much!!! You literally saved my day/weekend! 
After removing the patch and rebooting the keyboard is back.
(I must have installed the patch while fiddling around with the keyboard settings trying to find xt9 packages or so, all was well until I rebooted…)
You are the hero of my day!

repo :-), but at least, strange, didnt work for me. I added the repo, i can see that the repo is there with ssu lr, ut xt9-feature is not found. Run zypper ref right before, but package is not comin up. I have to say, I first added the repo on the mobile itself, but didnt work correct because of copy paste error, so i deleted and readded the repo wit ssu. so what could be the trick?
thx
Try feature-xt9!
