plymouth mixed versions in yast software

For some reason when I installed a certain package from OBS I got the following repository (plus many other SLE update repositories which throw-up errors when initialising zypper):

SUSE:SLE-15-SP3:Update
URL: https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/sle/

This installs an old version of plymouth 0.95+git20190908, despite the newer one actually being plymouth 0.95~git20210406 (see attachment). I believe this error is caused by how the + and ~ are being interpreted.

This mix of plymouth versions causes it to break and it fails to start on boot.

Hi Paul:
For "when I installed a certain package from OBS" Please show exact reproducible steps.
Which package? how did you install it rpm/zypper/gnome-software/yast... ?

I don't remember which package it was that first caused this to me, but it does not matter as long as you add the https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/sle/ repository (as numerous OBS repositories do).

To reproduce, add the repository above, then in yast software go to Package->All Packages->All Packages->Update if newer version available. Plymouth will then be partially replaced with an older version and break.

In this way, Which document indicates you add this repo to LEAP?
In my memory, plymouth only supports default repos.
