And by broken I mean completely f***ed.

The easiest solution is to download and install the rpms from ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home%3A/rbos/openSUSE_10.2/i586/ instead, which come with the correct sources.list as pointed to by this post. Here it is (with the additional sources uncommented):

# A very basic sources.list file.
#
# Fastest repository comes first, with netselect it is possible to determine
# the fastest repository easily.
