Hello all,

I posted a message earlier and the suggestion I got did not solve the problem.

Here is the output of a yum update command:

[root at linbook2 ~]# yum update
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
atrpms                    100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sqlitecachec.py", line 42, in
getPrimary
    self.repoid))
TypeError: Can not create db_info table: database is locked

I have completely removed and reinstalled yum, yum-metadata-parser,
yum-utils and
still the problem persists.

I have tried yum clean cache and yum clean all and still no joy.

I have insured that no lock files or pid files exist for yum.

I have also completely removed and reinstalled the sqlite rpms.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
