Message about lock when updating

[JVAQUEROM]

When I get prompted if I want to look for updates in OMB, I hit Y and it seems to update (I get the insertions and deletions messages and so on) and then I get this:

Hooray! Oh My Bash has been updated and/or is at the current version.
To keep up on the latest news and updates, follow us on GitHub: https://github.com/ohmybash/oh-my-bash
oh-my-bash/check_for_updgrade: Failed to get a lock.  Please make sure that no
other process is trying to update Oh My Bash and remove
"/home/USER/.oh-my-bash/log/update.lock"

Then I check if update.lock exists but it does not. Only thing in the log folder is a .gitkeep file which is empty.

I'm getting the same output on multiple machines also.

When I manually run upgrade_oh_my_bash I do not get that output.

I had the same problem. I solved it this way:

1. cat /home/${USER}/.oh-my-bash/log/update.lock
2. If file exist remove it and retry upgrade_oh_my_bash
3. If file not exist create with touch /home/${USER}/.oh-my-bash/log/update.lock and then remove it with rm /home/${USER}/.oh-my-bash/log/update.lock , after this retry upgrade_oh_my_bash

These steps worked for me
