What exactly is the problem that has been encountered?
error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000
Can mean e.g. that the filesystem is full. Or that you have no write access to /var/lib/rpm. Or that anohter process is blocking the RPM database (like zypper or PackageKit).
Ciao, Marcus
