"Pacman is currently in use, please wait." / Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues / Arch Linux Forums bbs.archlinux.org

I ran into this issue today, never have I ever before though. Omarchy looking a bit sus on me. This was even after a fresh boot, no pacman process running. just realized I forgot to check yay which it has installed for me. I had to force it in.

```
sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
```
