up2date error

[columb]

When I try to run up2date I'm getting

rpmdb: Lock table is out of available locker entries
error: db4 error(22) from db->close: Invalid argument
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Cannot allocate memory (12)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
An error has occurred:
exceptions.TypeError
See /var/log/up2date for more information

/var/log/up2date shows

   File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpmUtils.py", line 102, in installedHeadersNameVersion
    mi = _ts.dbMatch('Name', pkgName)

which doesn't make any sense to me. What do I do now please?

I'd 86 up2date and install yum if you don't have it aready. It can be set to update everything automagically during the wee hours or just notify you when there are updates available. You can also use it on the command line to update, install or delete packages.
