pls reply.. i am fed up.
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
After that try to use urpmi again.Code:#rm /var/lib/urpmi/.LOCK /var/lib/rpm/RPMLOCK
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
