Yumex-dnf won't run due to some lock

[Doug Wyatt]

Thanks for your reply ...

However, /var/cache/dnf/metadata_lock.pid does not exist;
if there was a dnf lock file, I would have expected it to
prevent the 'dnf install ...' which I ran w/o problem.  Also,
there do not appear to be any relevant *.pid files in /var/run.
