Reason for this was, that the PK-backend was not able to drop the libzypp-lock while it's idle. This way a running PK prevented zypper/yast from running, even if PK was idle. This has been fixed with libzypp-16.1.1, PK is now able to drop and re-acquire the libzypp-lock. It may however be the system has been modified while PK was idle. So after re-acquiring the libzypp-lock PK-backend must sync it's data with the systems current state, but this does not always work (see comment#6). In comment#7 I sketched a demo which - in a loop - acquires the libzypp-lock and syncs it's data. This is basically what the PK-backend needs to do, if you want to stop terminating after 15 seconds. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
