Q: Photos App Repairing Broken from Time Machine

I had to reinstall Mac OS X Yosemite (v10.10.3) on my Mac Book Pro (15", Early 2013). I copied all my needed files and documents from my TimeMachine Backup manually. The same goes with the Photos App Library. I copied the file (92.8GB) in my username/pictures folder, opened the Photos App holding the "Alt" Key and choose the file. The Photos App now tell me somethings wrong and he needs to repair. After about 10 minutes of repairing, following message appears:

 

The library could not be opened.

Photos has attempted to repair the library "Bibliothek Photos", but is unable to open it.

 

I already repaired Disk / Pthe HD with disk utility, etc.

I've no longer any iPhoto App so i can't try solutions that are written here in these forums. Thanks for your help.

    I may have a very old iPhoto Library with this "migratedphotolibrary" extension - but it will be months old without many of my recently made iPhone pictures.

    Use the most recent iPhoto Library restored from your Time Machine backup before you reinstalled OS X 10.10.3. If it was the source for the migration to Photos, it will have the "migratedphotolibrary" extension; otherwise just the "photolibrary" one.

    Thanks, but that's not an option. How about to open the photos package and copy all the images and add that to the new, clean Photos Library?

    That will work for the original image files that are still in there.
