yum related problems

TIRED OF GETTING MESSAGE LIKE THIS

Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
here is the solution


FIRST OF ALL u have to remove the lock from /var/run/ directory
============================================
# cd /var/run/
#ls -l yum.pid (just to confirm if there is any proces using yum ,you can skip this part )
#rm yum.pid
it will ask if uwant to remove [then press 'y'].
now the yum is unlocked.
u can now use yum
#yum -y install packagename
============================================================
have fun
