 Use the "kill" command to terminate any processes that you are not actively running. Then, rebuild the RPM database via:

 --

>>mkdir /root/old_rpm_dbs/
>>mv /var/lib/rpm/__db* /root/old_rpm_dbs/
>>rpm --rebuilddb

Proceed to attempt another cPanel update if this completes successfully:

/scripts/upcp

/scripts/upcp --force
