Your RPM database is probably stuck. This can occur if force killed rpm was
with a force kill (kill -9 / skill -9 / killall -9) and the lock stat
information was left behind. This lock information will limit what further
processes can do to the rpm databases and needs to be cleared out by hand.
The files that hold lock stat information are stored in /var/lib/rpm/ as
__db.*. It is generally considered relatively safe to clear by just removing
them (rm -f) as they are automatically re-created. Clear them and run your
rpm command again.
Keep in mind if this has been a situation on your box, any daily update
routine you may have that uses RPM was likely not functioning as intended as
a result of this and you should run an update on your machine to ensure you
packages are current. On CentOS and Fedora machines this can be done with
the command yum upgrade (yum -y upgrade to automate the process), and on
RedHat ES machine you can use up2date upgrade.
