[opensuse] "Accessing the Package Management Failed" in YaST



I'm getting a message "Accessing the Package Management Failed" whenever
I try to start online update in yast. It tells me the pid of a
non-existent packagekitd process which it claims is holding a lock.

What do I need to do to recover?

And what might have caused the problem?

Thanks, Dave

Oh yes, it's 11.2 64-bit
