If you're talking about packman.unixheads.com, unixheads stopped providing
mirror service - there was a thread about it here "What happened to the
opensuse.ca.unixheads.org mirror?".

That is my whole whole point.
I do not have linuxheads configured as a packman repository I removed it
but yast2 but not zypper insists on trying to connect to linuxheads.

The problem is probably a bad url in one of your /etc/zypp/repos.d/* files

grep -i heads.com /etc/zypp/repos.d/*

Then just edit the file that still has the bad url and change it to what you want:

baseurl=<http:// PROBLEM SITE>

then 'zypper ref'

or..

Once you identify the file in /etc/zypp/repos.d/ , just delete it and then
re-create the pacman repo.
