What about

# rpm -e nano

?

 

[Noam Harel]

this is the result:

warning: waiting for transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock

it's stuck in this situation

 

[IgorG]

Use fuser to see which process is locking the file:

# fuser /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock

you will see something like that:

/var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock: 23969

Then look for 23969 process

# ps waux |grep 23969

and kill this proceess if necessary. After that repeat removing nano again.

thank you for the reply

when i do :
# fuser /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock
the result is:
/var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock: 6770

which means the PID is 6770.
and when i do:
ps waux |grep 6770

i get:
# ps waux | grep 6770
root 2196 0.0 0.0 103248 872 pts/0 S+ 06:34 0:00 grep 6770
root 6770 0.0 1.8 278084 72044 ?

but when i try to kill 2196 or 103248 or 6770 or 278084 or 72044, with this command:
kill 15 -p <PID>

i get:
-bash: kill: -p: arguments must be process or job IDs
-bash: kill: (72044) - No such process

obviously im dong something wrong

please your kind help

Hi Noam Harel,

a general "KILL" - command is used with for example:

kill -9 PID-NUMBER​

The "PID-NUMBER" is ALWAYS the first number, which you can see, when you list your processes with a "ps" - command.
