Comment # 7 on bug 876184 from Ladislav Slezak

Yes, in general the lock can be hold by other process than Yast (e.g. zypper or
PackageKit) and in such case we cannot do much about it...

(There is a specific handling for PackageKit because it's usually running at
desktop, but that's a very special case...)

BTW running more Yast modules in parallel is not supported (there can be other
collisions than in the package management, the Yast log lines will get mixed,
etc...).


The error message comes from libzypp:
https://github.com/openSUSE/libzypp/blob/master/zypp/ZYppFactory.cc#L394

So if we want to display more details it needs to be added by libzypp.

Reassigning to the libzypp team...
