Are you sure you removed the package zmd? If you did, then the helper should not run at all since it's only called from zmd. > I wonder if it could be this? > > http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/ZMD/ZMD7.1/helpers/update-status > > What could this be and how do I get rid of it? Did you remove the complete zmd pattern in YaST? The helpers are in the package libzypp-zmd-backend - and those are only called from zmd itself.
