   @zarin it is probably shell's builtin echo - use "type echo" to confirm

     @zarin try typing `help echo` - then the --version parameter isnt there

     @marjoleink Isnt the lock just mdkapplet checking for updates? If not, remove /var/lib/urpmi/.LOCK !mandriva

     @marjoleink Just be careful, if there *is* another #urpmi process running your rpm database could become corrupted

     @reinouts it could be only the checking for updates - or the lock is left behind because I had to do a hard reboot

     @reinouts I assume that checking for updates cant corrupt?

     @marjoleink Thats right. Just when two processes would be writing to the installed packages db, there would be a problem.
