--- Comment #5 from Ján Kupec
This issue is a year old and still present in 11.2
The latest zypper (1.4.0) has been improved so that it offers to tell packagekit to quit. After that it waits 1 sec and checks again. If packagekit is not busy doing something (like downloading metadata or installing packages), this will cause it to close and zypper will continue. Next planned thing to improve is to get rid of the global zypp lock so that zypper can continue even if another zypp app is running in case of read-only operations like 'search' or 'info', etc.
Additionally, I sometimes find that a non-existing pid is named in the error message. Can I remove a stale pid-file or something in this case?
