This also shows up if something else has yum locked at the time.  If I am
doing updates via yumex before packagekit wakes up, it will crap out with
this message.  (I use yumex because I can apply the updates in smaller
chunks.  When you have a crappy wireless connection and 500+megs of
updates, breaking then up helps.)
