Re: Upgrade problem on sled 10

Hi,

I have sudo rights on my linux desktop (SLED 10 patch 2). But when I try
to make an upgrade I do the following:

sudo tcsh
warning: waiting for exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages

And it is hanging there.

Any ideas?

Something or someone else is using YaST or is running rpm. Look at `ps
aux` and see who and what is running.
