    That warning isn't a show-stopper, it just means that something is
    holding a *shared* (read) lock on the rpmdb. Generally speaking you want
    to check that there aren't any dangling rpm-related processes around but
    getting that warning doesn't stop you from installing packages, rpm >=
    4.1 does allow for concurrent access.
