Reinstall Zypper 1.5.3 Opensuse 11.4

Question

A colleague of mine unfortunately removed a package with zypper ending up removing zypper from the server.

I am trying to reinstall it via the .rpm package.

I have tried downloading it via wget:

wget http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/suse/i586/zypper-1.5.3.i586.rpm
asking libproxy about url 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/suse/i586/zypper-1.5.3.i586.rpm'
libproxy suggest to use 'direct://'

Since the package is old I only found these urls:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/15618018/dir/opensuse_11.x/com/zypper-1.5.3-3.2.i586.rpm.html

http://www.rpmseek.com/rpm-dl/zypper-1.5.3-3.2.i586.html?hl=com&cx=0:-:0:8612831:0:0:0

I am not able to download the linked files, how can I download them? Is there any other place where I can find it?

UPDATE

I was able to find the package here:

https://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/discontinued/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/suse/i586/

However it seems I am still missing some dependencies:

sudo rpm -i zypper-1.5.3-3.2.i586.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:

libgpg-error is already installed but it seems libgpg-error.so.0 is not found, what am I missing?

What do you need zypper for on that system? openSUSE 11.4 is out of support. It doesn't get updates anymore. It is so long out of support that you won't be able to do a direct upgrade to a supported version with zypper. If this is a business environment (as your posting in serverfault suggests) the system needs to be reinstalled or replaced anyway. So what's your goal? — Tilman Schmidt, May 31 '18 at 11:20
In my OpenSuse 11.4 (still working...) `/lib64/libgpg-error.so.0` link to the real lib file which is the `/lib64/libgpg-error.so.0.7.0` package version look the same: libgpg-error0-1.9-4.1.x86_64 — djv, May 31 '18 at 15:39
Thank you for your help, I decided to move to a new server for security reasons. Thank you again for your support! — Niko Zarzani, May 31 '18 at 15:42
