gpk-update-viewer broke Yum and Yumex after updates

[dcharlespyle]

I ran gpk-update-viewer to do some updates that were available. About halfway through, after installing but while cleaning, gpk-update-viewer crashed, vanished, and left me unable to use Yumex. This is what I get when I try to run it:

Yumex doesn't allow anything to be done with it further. If I try to run Yum afterward I get messages regarding removing locks four times. A second run will allow Yum to run and install things most of the time.

Version of Yum Extender is 3.0.6.

Any ideas?

I would start by running

PHP Code:

yum clean all 


and then run yum again to see if the errors disappear. You did say yum will work sometimes.

[dcharlespyle]

I did those but it didn't work. I did remove a hidden rpm lock file and part of the errors went away. Yumex remains broken, however.

I still get the following:
