Just a thought I get this on Fedora with yum the auto updater is running 
in the Bg and has left a lock file

this proc just hangs for no reason and stops any more yuming from the 
command line
I have  to ps -ax | grep yum
then kill -15 the process to free up yum again, I havn't bothered to 
find if it is a bug or just a config problem (Fedora Core 7)
