YUM error "can't create transaction lock"
...tabase entry that is preventing
yum from proceeding but I am not sure that the information that I
have found applies to yum and I am unable to clear the lock
manually.
After following all the recovery steps I reach this point:
> /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_dump Packages-ORIG | \
> /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_load Packages
> rpm -qa
> rpm --rebuilddb
> warning: waiting for transaction lock
Any assistance with this problem is gratefully accepted. I am a
digest subscriber so the favour of a direct reply is appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Recover rpm DB corrupted by disk failure?
Over the weekend my workstation (still on CentOS 3) started showing
SMART errors, so we shut it down and moved everything onto a new
drive. On reboot, the RPM database reports as corrupted and "rpm
--rebuilddb" segmentation faults.
Is there any reasonable way to recover from this, short of a complete
reinstall? The machine is otherwise up though it''s quite likely some
files
