Description Need Real Name 2007-06-06 21:52:26 UTC
Whenever I run yum -y upgrade (and not sometimes, not once, but always), I get
the error:
 Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid XXXX. Aborting.

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2007-09-13 18:20:10 UTC
yum-updatesd in Fedora 8 has been reworked to "hog" the lock file quite a bit
less which should help this.  Assuming testing continues to go well, I'll be
releasing
