Hi Richard,<br>
<br>
DNF uses three types of locks (metadata, download and rpmdb lock) to
allow more or less parallel execution of DNF commands. <br>
<br>
IIRC, the actual issue with kmods has been already resolved in
upstream by switching rpmdb lock to blocking mode.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

<div>Out of curiosity I tried running two dnf update instances
in two different terminals and I did not get the message, in

<div>Of course I hit "n" to not install the updates so I'm not
