Thanks for your reply ...
However, /var/cache/dnf/metadata_lock.pid does not exist;
if there was a dnf lock file, I would have expected it to
prevent the 'dnf install ...' which I ran w/o problem. Also,
there do not appear to be any relevant *.pid files in /var/run.
I just ran yumex-dnf & found this file in /var/cache/dnf :
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Oct 16 13:10 metadata_lock.pid
I also do NOT have a .pid file in var/run associated with dnf..
sorry.. not sure what to do now..
I had that problem before & I think even logging out didn't help, I had
to reboot..

I ran yumex-dnf a few times, then the last time I got the message:
dnf is locked by another process
yum extender will exit

and, it exits.
I can run dnf install successfully, and rpm -i also works.
Can anyone suggest where the lock might be?
