The TeamViewer SUSE repository has been throwing invalid checksum errors all day. I tried to open a support request, but the rep I spoke with didn't feel like doing his job, so we get to talk about it here on the forum instead of getting the issue over to the people who can actually fix the problem.

Accepting packages with wrong checksums can lead to a corrupted system 
and in extreme cases even to a system compromise.
