Pacman locked up?
 

I just got an error:

failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
if you're sure a package manager is not already
running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

When I write the command:
pacman -R /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

The same error returns.

If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it. I can't install any packages until I resolve this issue.

s

are you running it as root?

is another package manager running?

just do rm -r /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
then it'll work

thanks for this
 

Just had the same issue, couldn't remember the command
