Latest system update (performed just now) and a reboot did not fix this issue. I'm going to go ahead and close this as a duplicate of bug #812938. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 812938 *** Thanks for the information and the patch, Elad. I will apply it today and give feedback. |
Description of problem: A yum lock is established at startup which is never (apparently) released by PackageKit which never frees the lock. PackageKit is running in the background. Requests (or waits) for the lock to be freed on user-facing apps (System Update GUI, Software GUI and yum cmd line) indefinitely wait for the lock to be freed. Killing the 'packagekitd' process manually seems to be a workaround. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-presto-0.9.0-1.fc18.noarch anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-8.fc18.noarch PackageKit-yum-0.8.3-3.fc18.x86_64 yum-3.4.3-44.fc18.noarch yum-langpacks-0.3.0-3.fc18.noarch yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-7.fc18.x86_64 PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.8.3-3.fc18.x86_64 yum-utils-1.1.31-6.fc18.noarch eclipse-packagekit-0.0.2-4.fc18.x86_64 gnome-packagekit-3.5.90-1.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Startup system and run 'yum update' (or similar) from the command line. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to desktop. 2. Attempt to run 'yum update' (or similar) from the command line. 3. App waits indefinetly for yum lock to be released. Actual results: * Output of yum update: Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 1657. Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...

Expected results: Packagekitd should not need to be killed manually to proceed with system updated and software installs via yum.
