Hello,

I'm quite at a loss why my OS target is noarch and not OpenSUSE factory

Please report a bug. 

And now I have two (????) services:
=====================
Sub'd? | Name         | Service
-------+--------------+-------------
       | suse-factory | suse-factory
       | suse-factory | suse-factory
=====================

My guess is that the initial installing service added by default is suse-factory as well. Anyway, please stop zmd, start it again, delete all services:

rug sd 1

until you end with no services, try to add the new factory again and tell us if you still have any issues.

I can subscribe to the first of these two channels (rug subscribe
suse-factory).

However, I cannot install packages:
=====================
linux:~ # rug install kpowersave
ERROR: A newer resolvable 'kpowersave' is only available in an unsubscribed
catalog.
=====================

Yeah,  I think the second server you added (which adds the catalog you can't susbcribe to) it's the one who have the most recent software.


BTW, YAST seems to be able to add and remove installation sources, but as I
understand, YAST doesn't use the zmd system, but libzypp directly?!?

Yes, zypp is the common thing between the two. Check this one:

specially the diagram on the right.

Best regards,
