Although there is no permanent solution for this error, you can rectify it by killing the yum with respective PID as follows....

Orelse remove the PID file in /var/run location.....

#rm -rf /var/run/yum.pid

The story of this game is more developed than the story of the freedom of India. enter link description hereUp game king is the name of the winner of this game who wins the most prizes on a given date. But nowadays this game is also called Satta King due to the large number of players and a large number of winners.
