Salutations,

I wrote a script to update some USB OS's of mine per instance. The idea's that multiple instances can be run. The script is located at : https://github.com/bluerider/mkportarch/blob/master/update-usb However, I get the following error :

------------ :: Synchronizing package databases... error: failed to update core (unable to lock database) error: failed to update extra (unable to lock database) error: failed to update community (unable to lock database) error: failed to synchronize any databases error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database) error: could not lock database: File exists if you're sure a package manager is not already running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck ------------

Those are separate chroot environments so they wouldn't be sharing /var/lib/pacman/db.lck.

Regards, Mark
