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?

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.

Cool! I didn't know this zyp/zmd thing wasn't necessary, so every time I logged on I've been living with this annoying crash dialog filled with a mile of java-esque blather describing something in zmd not running. I removed everything that said zmd in the name and now life is good again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I hit CTRL+ESC to see what was going on and noticed a process was taking up 78% of system resources and 36% of user resources. I killed it and things got instantly better.

add zmd-inventory to the rpm -e command..

mono(Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.PackageManagementModule) = 0.0.0.0 is needed by (installed) zmd-inventory-7.2.0-0.9.i586 zmd is needed by (installed) yast2-registration-2.13.12-0.10.noarch zmd is needed by (installed) suseRegister-1.2-9.33.noarch

Add yast2-registration and suseRegister to the rpm -e command. Stop adding packages to the rpm -e command when you recognize one you want to keep :)
