Database is locked whm update problem

[KushalGera]

Hi,

I have a problem updating WHM. It is currently blocked to v82.0.16. After searching over the internet I realized that it is a problem with the yum command. When I run "yum update" I get the database is locked error.

How can I solve the problem?

Thanks in advance

It is because the hosting firm has an auto 'yum update' launch in their ISOs & the database gets locked until it finishes updating. After the update, the error will disappear.
