Description

Installing MADLib on our freshly installed two-node system (running RHEL 7.7 on bare metal) reports that MADLib is already installed, and the installation seems to have failed.

{{[gpadmin@sdw5 ~]$ gppkg -i }}madlib-1.16+5-gp6-rhel7-x86_64/madlib-1.16+5-gp6-rhel7-x86_64.gppkg

...

stderr='warning: waiting for transaction lock on /usr/local/greenplum-db-6.1.0/share/packages/database/.rpm.lock package madlib-1.16-1.x86_64 is already installed

Running the installation again also reports that MADLib is already installed, but the nature of the error is different:

[gpadmin@sdw5 ~]$ gppkg -i madlib-1.16+5-gp6-rhel7-x86_64/madlib-1.16+5-gp6-rhel7-x86_64.gppkg

Please note that .rpm.lock is an issue during the first invocation and not in the second.

Frequency:  This behavior happened two consecutive on clean installations on a system containing GPDB 6.1.0 with GPCC 6.0.0.
