During a mirror-update using easyurpmi, the process crashed while updating plf-nonfree

urpmi.addmedia --update plf-free ftp://mandriva.cointech.net/pub/plf/mandriva/free/2006.0/i586 with synthesis.hdlist.cz

Now I am informrd "urpmi database locked".

I'm reluctant to simply delete the database; could someone tell me how else I am likely to solve the problem? Thanks.

I added Urpmi a couple months ago, after reading on the forum that it was a good idea to do so, even though I didn't know exactly what I was doing , or why. I also received a "Urpmi database locked" message once, but after reboot, and using software update, it didn't return, so I didn't worry about it.

 

Can someone please give me a brief description to what Urpmi is? I did some reading at the time, and although I found instruction on how to install, I didn't find a general explanation as to what it is. .....Thank you in advance, and sorry for the partial thread hyjack.
