Hi. working with apt throught webmin, sometimes I get these messages: --- error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm --- I think that's probably a mistake of mine (maybe launching apt from two sessions :-(), still, is there any way to figure out who or what is locking a specific file? regards, ===== Riccardo G.
