yum因被锁定导致无法执行相关操作的解决方法

执行yum命令时，提示“Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit…”等错误字样。这是因为yum被锁定无法使用导致的。

错误信息参考：

Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
The other application is: yum

解决方案：

rm -rf /var/run/yum.pid

SSH执行以上命令，删除yum.pid强行解除锁定即可。
