I was trying to install a python rpm on AIX 6.1 and it was taking too long and so I had to close ther terminal.
Later when I tried to install the same rpm as root I am getting the problem as :
root:stud -> $ rpm -i -v python-2.6.7-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
cannot get exclusive lock on database
error: cannot open /opt/freeware/packages/packages.rpm
How can I correct this.
And on executing ps aux | egrep -i 'yum|rpm' I get:
root:stud-> $ ps aux | egrep -i 'yum|rpm'
root 2359514 0.0 0.0 240 252 pts/1 A 09:32:10 0:00 egrep -i yum|rp
lsof /opt/freeware/packages/packages.rpm
show something?$
sign indicates a normal user.fuser /opt/freeware/packages/packages.rpm
work?
