Errors during upgrade to 8.2.4

[tlcconsulting]

Have a installation issue.  I am trying to upgrade from Splunk 8.0.5 to 8.2.4.  

Here are the errors Im receiving:

splunk-8.2.4-87e2dda940d1-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA512 Signature, key ID b3cd4420: NOKEY

^Cerror: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Interrupted system call)

The installation just hang at this point, have to back out of it.  Ive stopped the splunk processes (splunkd)

Have any idea of whats going on?

SO, now I am receiving a error:

Warning: waiting for transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock

Hi

you are doing the installation like 

yum update ..../splunk-8.2.4......

The most obviously reason for that warning is that installation has failed (rp/dnf/yum) has crashed on last installation run. For that reason it haven't remove that lock file which are here to deny several installation at the same time.

This should be fixed by removing this lock file by rm. But check first that there haven't been any another installation ongoing.

Use e.g. lsof, fuser etc. to check this.

I am running the install as root... and the file permissions are on 644, per the manual
