title: yum database is locked
body: <p>When I do <code>yum update</code> I get the following error response: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>One of the configured repositories failed (Unkown),
         and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the 
    only
         safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:</p>
    
    <ol>
    <li><p>Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.</p></li>
    <li><p>Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
        upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
        distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
        packages for the previous distribution release still work).</p></li>
    <li><p>Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
            yum --disablerepo= ...</p></li>
    <li><p>Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
        will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
        again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:</p>
    
    <p>yum-config-manager --disable 
        or
            subscription-manager repos --disable=</p></li>
    <li><p>Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
        Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
        so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
        slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
        compromise:</p>
    
    <p>yum-config-manager --save --setopt=.skip_if_unavailable=true</p>
    
    <p><code>database is locked</code></p></li>
    </ol>

  <p>I already did <code>yum clean all</code>, <code>rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*</code> and <code>rpm --rebuilddb</code> without any change.</p>
