Cpanel version change is blocked

I am getting this failure message from cPanel: fatal,Your RPM database appears unstable. It is not possible at the moment to install a simple RPM. fatal,Cannot upgrade because yum is locked (/var/run/yum.pid has existed for 10+ minutes). In WHM "Home "System Health "Process Manager I have the following processes listed: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum update (listed two times) /usr/bin/python -tt /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/checkyum /usr/bin/python -tt /usr/libexec/yum-updatesd-helper --check --dbus Question: Should I manually kill some of these processes? Is it safe to kill all those processes? Thanks

Hello :) Check for any hanging YUM and RPM processes via:

ps aux|grep rpm
ps aux|grep yum

Kill any of these processes that are no longer active, and then rebuild the RPM database via:

mkdir /root/old_rpm_dbs/
mv /var/lib/rpm/__db* /root/old_rpm_dbs/
rpm --rebuilddb

Then, run "yum update" to see if it completes successfully. Thank you.
