Hi,

all i want is to echo some information if package y is also installed.
Do i have some alternatives?

Just don't do it. Calling rpm in trigger scripts and echo in trigger
scripts are both things with various pitfalls. You should avoid them.

YaST has a mechanism to show information before and after package
installation. If you really really want to annoy your users with that
information everytime the package gets installed you can use that. Maybe
its sufficient to put it into a README.SUSE in the default doc dir?
