Don't know, but I had repeatedly been facing issues with similar
symptoms, on all 3 machines I have FC6 installed throughout last week.

I don't get the lock problem, but with FC6 I find I frequently have to rebuild my rpm databases due to what appears to be rpm database corruption problems. Sorry, I don't have more specific information.

I had an instance where the package install, upgrade or remove would not take for vim-common. All of the other packages seemed to install, upgrade fine for the most part. I filed this bug but closed it since vim did not seem to be the problem. After doing an rpm --rebuilddb and trying to install, upgrade remove these packages, the effort was possible.

I did an rpm -qaV and no errors were reported except for the usual s-c-rootpassword missing files and the mono remnants which I had to erase manually for some odd reason. Also, once there was a peculuarity with yum. Yum started to install packages, installed maybe five rpms and then for some reason jumped to maybe package twenty in the transaction and finished.

Here is the vim bug report link for an example. Forgive the giving up and using mc to install the package manually, though it was kind of enjoyable to learn what ../../ did, I was wondering how to change back two levels and now I know.

Bug report with rpm database corruption for one known item though rpm -qaV showed that everything was normal.
