I'm not sure if it's part of the oopses, but it seems that the problem is 
that the script for x86_64  doesn't remove the lock file because it can't 
find it. Error message on running db-extra64:
error: repo lock doesn't exist... something went terribly wrong!

A /srv/tmp/.repolock.extra.x86_64 lockfile was left with 644 permissions 
for my user. I removed it manually to not block updates for other users.
