Hi,
OK - #213359 (but this one has already been marked as a duplicate).
Yes, it's already known: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=212252
I did it the hard way - removing all zypp- and zmd-stuff in /var/lib. Worked, too ;). I can now add installation sources at least with Yast.
Don't do that! That way you are losing information that cannot be easily restored. If there's a problem that cannot be resolved the "normal" way, you may delete the /var/lib/zmd/zmd.db file, but not everything in /var/lib/zmd and /var/lib/zypp.
However, Yast gives very inconvenient names to the installation sources (e.g. the current date for the factory stuff - can this be changed???)
This is already being worked on, as far as I know.
so I tried again to add the very same URL with rug, where the name can be chosen.

Wait for the next libzypp submission of version 2.4.0. Currently there is still version 2.3.0 in the factory tree, which is really old.
