How To Resolve Another App Is Currently Holding The Yum Lock; Waiting For It To Exit…
It seems that only one instance of yum can be running. Is it the same with other package mangers (apt-get, pacman)?
I think it is caused by PackageKit. You have sầu lớn check for PackageKit and disable it (I assume it is CentOS 7 with systemctl, otherwise you can use service and chkconfig) (as mentioned in comments, the service name is packagekit not packagekitd):
systemctl stop packagekitsystemctl disable packagekitAnother approach (On CentOS/RHEL 6, Fedora 19 or earlier) is lớn open /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/refresh-packagekit.conf with a text editor, and change enabled=1 lớn enabled=0.

Or you can completely remove sầu it:

You can unloông xã yum by following two simple steps,
1) Run ps aux | grep yum khổng lồ see which process is locking yum.2) kill to kill the process.
Again run ps aux | grep yum khổng lồ see if the process is killed or not. Yum will be unlocked after killing the process.

In my case, I was connected khổng lồ a hệ thống via VPN (open VPN). Once I ran sudo yum -y update, all packages were getting updated, along with open-VPN. Once open-VPN package got updated, I was disconnected from the VPN. I logged baông chồng in, tried the yum update again and it said another process is holding the yum lock.

I checked with ps ax | grep yum và the old process was still running. I waited for 5 min for it lớn "finish", but the process just kept running. Then I thought I could "pull the trigger" with kill, so I ran
kill
That didn"t kill the process. Tried that a few more times, and still no success.
Finally I had to lớn really pull the plug on it, by running:
kill -9
Tried yum update again, but same issue. I then ran:
rm -f /var/run/yum.pid
& then tried update & got this output:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirrorSetting up Update ProcessLoading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.sigmanet.com * epel: mirror.sjc02.svwh.net * extras: mirrors.vpsie.com * updates: mirror.pac-12.orgNo Packages marked for UpdateBelieve everything is good, but I didn"t like pulling the plug on so many things!
