in addition to Dennis's post,
--- snip ---------
As superuser, enter:
killall urpmi urpmi.update urpme rpm urpmi.addmedia
rm -f /var/lib/urpmi/.LOCK /var/lib/rpm/RPMLOCK
If that doesn't unlock the database, rebooting is always the
solution.

Also check to make sure urpmi the process isn't running using top :)

Thanks to all who have responded. As RickS says I can always reboot and
unlock urpmi. What I am interested is: why I cannot install the
kernel-source. I wish to find a way to install it or I am doomed to be
unable to compile things. Any ideas why urpmi hangs?

Does ps aux | grep urpmi or ps aux | grep rpm return anything besides
the grep command? If so then you may need to kill the process. Post the
output.
