Re: Problem during update

Just got this error back from fou4s:

************************
* ERROR: Update failed *

warning: waiting for exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

Please try option --end, -a or --nodeps in case of dependency problems.
Using --nopatchrpms might also help
