rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* 

fixes this problem. It removes stale lock files.

I have seen this same problem on a couple of the machines on which I run
WBEL3. The first time was on my personal workstation. In all cases, the
problem "went away" after a reboot. I have not tried to find the root
cause of the problem.  While in this state, some RPM commands worked OK,
but I believe most failed. This problem hasn't occurred on all servers
running WBEL3, so I'm not even sure how it gets into the state. 

I suspect that if you reboot the machine, the problem will stop
occurring.

Hope this helps.

Dear People:

      I was updating my Whitebox Linux Server, and
found this error message:

I only update severals days ago, all my packages by
using yum update command, and now I see this error
why?

How can I do?

Greetings
