mac 5.1.5.pkg install, ERROR: Database is locked (1038)

As far as I know, the only time a database currently gets locked if it's the secondary cluster in a DR pair. Assuming you weren't running DR, then there may be a bug here to investigate.

Actually, another (similar) case that can cause the database to be locked is when a backup is being restored to the database. I suspect that wasn't the case here either, though, based on your description that you had installed the package and then opened fdbcli.

Hi @ajbeamon
I am facing the same problem but as you mentioned while restoring a backup that I took using fdbbackup utility.
So I took backup through this fdbbackup command

fdbbackup start  -d file:///data/fdbbackup

the backup was successful, then I deleted all the keys from the database by EXECing into the pod manually and then tried to restore the same backup, that I created earlier, using the command mentioned below

fdbrestore start --dest_cluster_file /var/dynamic-conf/fdb.cluster -r file:///data/fdbbackup/backup-date

Backup and restore are happening from a code that EXECs into the pod and then takes backup and restore.
I have also created a topic int the forums to discuss this issue.
What can be done to resolve this.
