I'm getting a message "Accessing the Package Management Failed" whenever I try to start online update in yast. It tells me the pid of a non-existent packagekitd process which it claims is holding a lock.
What do I need to do to recover?
If the process does not exist, go to /var/lock and remove the associated lock.
And what might have caused the problem?
