Hmm, what a heck, it doesn't work: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 169, in main lock('/var/run/yum.pid', mypid) File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 121, in lock while not yumlock.lock(lockfile, mypid, 0644): File "/usr/share/yum/yumlock.py", line 10, in lock if not msg.strerror == "File exists": raise msg OSError: [Errno 17] Tiedosto on olemassa: '/var/run/yum.pid' Ok, need to remove /var/run/yum.pid file. Why doesn't yum remove /var/run/yum.pid file when it dies? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.0.4.20040103-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum something 2. ctrl-c 3. yum again something 4. remove stale /var/run/yum.pid file 5. yum again Actual Results: Losing another valuable 5 seconds of your "life".

1. your expected results are pretty funny 2. this has been fixed in the latest yum daily release -I'll try to encourage this to show up in rawhide. closing this as fixed, upstream.
Wow! It took only took 5 seconds to close this. ;-) That's perfect user experience.
