There were errors while restoring the repository configuration.
Parse error: repoindex.xml[15] Opening and ending tag mismatch: link line 12 and head[/QUOTE]

Not sure if this is helpful, but when I run the following command:

zypper lr -d

I get this output:

Hi
Delete the tmp repository and remove the system from the Novell
Customer Center and re-register it.

Thanks for your help!

I ran into some issues while trying to re-register, but I came across this article which was also helpful: http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=3303599
