I don't know, but I'm guessing because it writes to logs and the transaction set and things. Just a guess.

Hi, I don't know if this one was already discussed to death, but please bear with me... Why is it that YUM can only be run/executed once, by one process, by one user - whatever when all I am trying to do is to yum info <whatever> while yum is busy doing something else. I mean - why wasn't yum written so that it can take care of itself, that is, it knows what is permissible and what is not permissible? I somewhat understand if an update or installation is taking place (but these operations could use transactions control) - but why not allow commands such as list or search or other non-intrusive operations while yum is doing, say updates or installs?
