[newbie] cannot get shared lock on database in MandrakeUpdate

[pete moss]

i tried using makndrake update to get any new stuff for my 6.1 system. 
i got and installed the new kernal as well as virc.  no problems with
either.  however, when i tried to get the new netscape, it crashed with
the error 'cannot get shared lock on database'.  is there a lock file i
need to remove or can i install the netscape rpms manually (if so, where
are they on my system?)?

thanks


:P
