I tried to do an update this morning and was getting an error. I thought it might have been the system I was performing the update on so I built a VM from scratch using the 15.3 ISO and I have the same error on it.

Skipping repository ‘Non-OSS Repository’ because of the above error.
This being your first post here: welcome to the openSUSE forums.
Besides from the answers to your problem, please, in the future, always tell what you are doing. We now have only an error message, but do not know what produced it.
And another important thing to know when you are posting computer text from the terminal:
There is an important, but not easy to find feature on the forums.
Please in the future use CODE tags around copied/pasted computer text in a post. It is the # button in the tool bar of the post editor. When applicable copy/paste complete, that is including the prompt, the command, the output and the next prompt.
Henk - Thank you for the advice and information. It has been noted.
For clarity I have installed a fresh install of 15.3 leap on a VM. I did not use the online repo during the install due to the error posted above. I did not want to impact my install so chose an offline installation.
Once the install was completed I ran a zypper update and that is the error you see posted above.
I have tried to do a zypper ref and again same error.
All the other repos update normally the Non-OSS is the only one throwing this error.

Accepting packages with wrong checksums can lead to a corrupted system and in extreme cases even to a system compromise.
However if you made certain that the file with checksum ‘dfed…’ is secure, correct
and should be used within this operation, enter the first 4 characters of the checksum
to unblock using this file on your own risk. Empty input will discard the file.
I am not sure if it was because I have been out of the office for over a week or if it was the clean and refresh either way it appears to have resolved the issue.
