I feel I am working in a crazy world. The extras address worked a few
minutes ago but now it returns:
# repo = extras-5 country = US arch = i386 
database is locked
Query: SELECT url FROM mirrors where repo="extras-5" and arch="i386" and valid="1" and country='US';

Which is the address I indicated worked in a separate message. I am ready to scream.
