error: failed to init transaction

Hello guys. For some reason my pacman will not work. I was able to use it today (I downloaded a rar reader) and then when I try to use pacman again, I get this:


error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
  if you're sure a package manager is not already
  running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck.

Do you know what is going on? I greatly appreciate it!

err... sudo rm -f /var/lib/pacman/db.lck?


They say that if you play a Win cd backward you hear satanic messages. That's nothing! 'cause if you play it forwards, it installs windows.

Haha, thanks. I knew how to do that, I just wasn't sure if there was some other way of doing something. But yes, that does work. Thanks.
