Hi,
I'm considering filing a bug about the following behaviour, but I thought I'd
better sound out the list first.
If I start off a yum process that actually "does" something, such as yum
install blah or yum update and then perform a yum search as the same user
while that first process is running, I get a locking error, e.g.
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 8265. Aborting.
Using the -C flag doesn't make any difference. A workaround is to run the
search as a different user. I run into this quite frequently, as I often tend
to start installing a handful of packages and then search for another package
that I want to install afterwards.
Bug or feature?
Joe
