Just tried yum clean all but receive exactly the same error message: rpmdb: unable to join the environment error: db3 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily unavailable (11) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm CRITICAL:yum.main: I do not remember the last yum update (a couple of weeks ago) going wrong but finishing as expected. Suggestions or ideas? Thank you.
