Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running is part of the error message.

Notes/Solutions

Make the yum module check if /var/run/yum.pid is active. Wait a certain time and pass back a result stating yum is being used.
Could be on the user end where yum is being used by a bootstrap program
Started occuring after fix #99

Haven't seem this error occuring lately. Might have been a one-off thing. Let's re-open this if it occurs predictably.
