I assume you mean leap 42.3, that seemed to be the newest 4x.x? If so that's
been archived 2019-07-01 [1].

Leap's versioning is, uh, confusing. 13 -> 42 -> 15. Yea.

I don't think it's really useful to run out-of-support distribution
versions. Leaving security etc aside, not being able to install packages seems
sufficient reason to upgrade.

Greetings,
