You have Leap 15.3 if I recall correctly, yet there you have configured a repo with very obsolete 12.2.

I hope you have not installed anything from it breaking your system, again.

So yes, it has its importance.

However, maybe you are lucky because perhaps http://packman.inode.at/ has been out of commission for months.

maybe, if we know *exactly* what you mean by "these messages". we cannot see your screen and have no idea what messages.

did you see that bird? The messages are pop-ups that appear in a box at the lower right corner of the display, and repeat until there are about six of these boxes stacked up, and then there will sometimes be more of them "hiding" behind the stack. I don't know why the system thinks I want something from an obsolete

YaST Software Repositories.  Find and delete that old and strange Packman 12.2 repository.  With your level of expertise, you should be using YaST for all your repository and software work - after all, that is what it is there for, and it does an excellent job of it. The other messages make no sense - what are you doing fooling around with zypper and Tumbleweed repositories???  You are using Leap; you should strictly avoid anything with TW.  For additional software, in your web browser use the search tool at software.opensuse.org, specifying your Leap 15.3 in the upper-left box labeled "Distribution".  Under 15.3 click on "Experimental" and you will find that Artha is in the "Education" repo.  Click on "1-Click Install" and follow the prompts; the repo will be added to your system and the package installed. --dg 15.2 & 15.3

As usual, I have no idea how to configure a repo. If I need a file, it should be available in a usable format. One file that I really miss is the thesaurus, Artha. What can be done to get that to Leap 15.3? --doug

At this point the usual response should be to make use of YaST. The whole point to YaST is that you don't need to now how to do something, only find the menu entry in YaST to tell it to take care of the details of the getting done of that thing.  As in the proverbial "Make it so!"

We really need a "repository for users howto" of the "for dummies" series, to point doug to it. Explaining all he needs to learn in a simple manner, not assuming any prior knowledge, would takes days to write, possibly beyond my skills. I love the "for dummies" book series, I'm not saying anyone is dumb. They are easy to understand and explain fully everything one needs to know about the subject. I have tried in the past to explain repositories to doug and failed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
