 Installing a package from software.opensuse.org adds broken repositories to zypper.
Hello, everyone.
Freshly installed 15.3, I found that it is only shipping Emacs 25.2, which is too old for me.
As suggested by the manual, I went to the https://software.opensuse.org, searched for emacs, and clicked "Show experimental packages" near 15.3, and then "1-click install". The resulting "installation file" was automatically opened in some installation tool.
After the installation, zypper started to report the following broken repositories:
Code:

Re: Installing a package from software.opensuse.org adds broken repositories to zypper.
The whole purpose of openSUSE LEAP 15.3 is that it uses tested packages so it works.
If you load anything from outside the tested repositories you do so at your own risk.
If you need more 'experimental programs' then use openSUSE Tumbleweed. Which might enable your program.
But it come with some risks.
Question: Why is Emacs tested version in the repros 'too old' for you?

Despite the advice in the manual related to “1-click-install”, the reliable method is to add the repository to your repositories list manually –
I'll be back soon from my Leap 15.3 system …

Please check the URLs of the SUSE SLE-15 repositories – with Leap 15.3, you should only have these SUSE SLE-15 repositories –

You only need these two SUSE SLE-15 repositories –
- For whatever reason, the “1-click-install” has added some SUSE repositories which are not needed for openSUSE Leap 15.3 …
Please remove the “SUSE:SLE-15-xxxx” repositories from your openSUSE Leap 15.3 system.
- When you've done that, perform a forced refresh of all the (openSUSE) repository meta-data –
“zypper refresh --force”
-
Re: Installing a package from software.opensuse.org adds broken repositories to zypper.
I have found that any program currently listed as Experimental will download all these SLE-15 repos if you use One click install. However, as dcurtisfra says, if you copy the instructions for manually adding the 15.2 repo and change it to 15.3, it will load the repo and add the program from the repo using zypper in --allow-vendor-change <program>.
