The error message looks like it can't create a lock. Either you are
running as a user that doesn't have permission to create the lock or the
file is already locked. I'd look for /var/run/yum.pid to see if that
file exists. If it does, then do
ps `cat /var/run/yum.pid`
to see if you have a running yum process somewhere. If you do, you'll
need to take care of it. If you don't, then remove /var/run/yum.pid and
try again.
