<p dir="ltr">I tried to do an install and an update on two

didn't yell about an rpmdb lock but it did say that it was

So I just did 'dnf update' from two different terminals on the same
system and allowed the first one to proceed. While it was updating,
I kept running 'dnf update' in the other terminal, terminating it by
not giving it an OK to proceed.<br>
<br>
The second 'dnf update' was running, reporting decreasing number of
upgrades needed, as expected. I don't know what would happen if I
allowed the second one to proceed---would they mess up the package
database? would two upgrades collide writing to the same packaged
files? <br>
