You must have another package manager already running, like update manager, add/remove program, etc...So close anything that might be open.
Linux doesn't let 2 package managers to work at once, in order to prevent system damage.

i have checked that out. no other package manager is running simultaneously.
what shall be the problem?
is there any way i can find these packages on internet?
pls reply..
thanx again.

If you are sure that you do not have another package management process running, try

#rm /var/lib/urpmi/.LOCK /var/lib/rpm/RPMLOCK

After that try to use urpmi again.

it gives following lines.

[root@unknown00e04c106014 comp1]# rm /var/lib/urpmi/.LOCK /var/lib/rpm/RPMLOCK
rm: cannot lstat `/var/lib/urpmi/.LOCK': No such file or directory
rm: cannot lstat `/var/lib/rpm/RPMLOCK': No such file or directory

thanx again.
