There's an easier way but if you reboot it should be fine.

There's also a lock file somewhere you can delete, but I forgot where.

Sounds like the locks on your rpm database are not current.

To fix it, log in as root and ues the commands:

cd /var/lib/rpm
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm -vv --rebuilddb

That should solve it!

I rebooted my computer and it worked just fine. :)


Thank you.
