Hi Günther,
in this case zypper have powerful ability to disable all remote
repositories:
zypper modifyrepo --disable --remote

This way it just disable all remote repositories, so you can install
from local one and when you link is up again you can simple enable it
with
zypper modifyrepo --enable --remote

Hope that it helps.
