I'm not sure if this is an issue with dnf or gnome-software. But after attempting to use both at the same time, rpm is broken. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a root terminal 2. dnf install gimp* -x *-devel* 3. Start gnome-software 4. Start installing something with gnome-software 5. Ctrl+C out of the dnf process in the terminal Actual results: gnome-software tells that it can't install the packages you asked it to install rpm stops working entirely and says: "error: db5 error(-30973) from dbenv->open: BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery" Expected results: After Ctrl+C'ing out of dnf, gnome-software should successfully install the packages it was asked to install and rpm should not break
thinks this should be filled against gnome-software, it should check is rpm is already in use
There are two things I can see here. First of all, dnf should properly close the rpmdb when Ctrl+C occurs (not sure if it does). Then there is rpmdb access synchronization from multiple processes at once. Adding Richard to CC, as he might have some insight what's happening.
We should check to close rpm transaction properly in DNF after hitting ctrl+c.

I've just duplicated again(after opening 1299234). I'm in KDE Plasma Desktop on Fedora 23 x86_64 I do not get any errors, and nothing breaks. However, dnf and gnome-software are able to install/upgrade packages at the same time.
Are any of y'all still able to hit this bug? How about with Fedora 24?
