Hello Rhein, It would be helpfull if you include the exact command you are trying to run. In any case, I see the dadabase is locked, which suggests you are running another instance of URPMI in the background. Try closing all rpm related apps (urpmi, rpmdrake, rpmdrake-remove) and then add the desired media, using the console, and urpmi.addmedia.
