The 1-Click install and the manual instructions at:
https://opensuse-guide.org/codecs.php
need to be updated. The Packman repo has moved to:
https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_$releasever/'
Packman migration news here…

It is not moved. One of the mirrors is down (apparently the one you are using) and you now are using another one. There are still more addresses then these two.
The Austrian mirror, packman.inode.at, has been unavailable for couple of days so switching to ftp.gwdg.de server, in my case LEAP 15.2 https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_$releasever/ , fixes the error message.
Thank you for this thread.
I have been unable to change mirrors using a couple of the sites. They look to be relying on the main site which has been retired prior to the move. Emails here have reports from Stefan Botter.

How did you try to change? As posted by Sauerland #6 should work:

You can also start YaST - Software repositories - choose Packman and “edit” - copy the new URL. I have used
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/And I can tell, this one works!
