I'm quite at a loss why my OS target is noarch and not OpenSUSE factory x86_64, as it is supposed to be. Please report a bug.
OK - #213359 (but this one has already been marked as a duplicate).
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:
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. However, Yast gives very inconvenient names to the installation sources (e.g. the current date for the factory stuff - can this be changed???), so I tried again to add the very same URL with rug, where the name can be chosen.
