Hello

It looks like your RPM database is not responding:

TIMEOUT: RPM DB is not responding after 10 minutes.

Look for any stale RPM and YUM processes with commands such as:

ps aux|grep rpm
ps aux|grep yum

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 --force

Thank you.
