Hi Richard,
DNF uses three types of locks (metadata, download and rpmdb lock) to
allow more or less parallel execution of DNF commands.
IIRC, the actual issue with kmods has been already resolved in
upstream by switching rpmdb lock to blocking mode.
Regards,
Michal

I remember frequently (to my dismay) getting
messages from yum saying that another process had a lock on the
RPM database.
Due to a recent rash of issues with the akmods package I
have been investigating why the kmods are not getting
installed.
Out of curiosity I tried running two dnf update instances
in two different terminals and I did not get the message, in
fact it acted like nothing was wrong!
Of course I hit "n" to not install the updates so I'm not
sure what would happen if I had hit "y"...
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Richard
