Have a look at rinigus’ instructions for ota to 5.0.0.61: Xperia Tama port: 5.0.0.61 release this may help with the repo for adaptation0 even though you’re already on 62

I know. But instead I changed the adaptation repository URL manually and set the version to the latest one available for the device (5.0.0.61) and updated all other system components to 5.0.0.67. Additionally, I could not downgrade from 5.0.0.62 to 5.0.0.61 anyway.

To change adaptation repos to point to a specific URL, I changed the URL in file at /usr/share/ssu/repos.d/adaptation-community.ini by replacing %(release) (which points to the currently installed release) to the actual release (for me, 5.0.0.61). I think there is a better way to do it (possibly using ssu command), but this one is the simplest. For editing the file you can use file browser with root mode.

About ChatGPT and other LLMs, they can rarely help you with specific topics like this. If you can’t find the answer to your question on the internet, there is a rare chance that chatgpt will tell it you.

ssu ar|addrepo does also overwrite extant entries (= alter them).

The ar|addrepo sub-command has the form (see output of ssu --help ):
ssu addrepo <reponame> <URL>
(ssu lr lists the extant entries)

Hence you can use a devel-su ssu ar adaptation0 <URL> to easily change the URL of an extant adaptation0 entry ssu lr shows.

You might want to take a look by another ssu lr (and / or more /etc/ssu/ssu.ini) to check if your actions have yielded the intended result.

Note that in my experience it often is helpful to run a ssu ur (as root, i.e. with devel-su either prepended or priorly executed without parameters in this terminal session) after changes to repositories known to SSU, followed by a pkcon refresh (and if zypper is installed: zypper ref).

P.S.: Mind to revert any of these changes directly before upgrading to an SaulfishOS 5 based Tama port by @rinigus, because that will expect the %(release) variable to be used in repository URL (instead of a static value you set).
