Re: opkg: Could not obtain administrative lock (Om2008.8)

2008-08-09 Thread Peter Nijs
The graphical installer uses packagekit. This doesn't close when you close the 
installer. So if you want to use opkg after having used the installer, 
run killall packagekit first.

 I then found this thread:

 I expected my problem to be the same, but it wasn't:

 I have no idea what pulseaudio was doing with opkg ... maybe updating
 itself or some component?  Anyway, maybe this will help someone else.
