Lock wait timeout exceeded issue on ALTER/DROP statements to a InnoDB table

Hi all,

I have an InnoDB table which prevents me to add a column; whatever I have tried - drop inclusive - the error is as follow:

Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction

Drop of the related database was also not possible: all tables except the problematic one was dropped and in result the database was stayed.

I don't understand the root problem, because there is no access/transaction to this instance (currently Idle).

How can I solve this issue, thank you for your assistance in advance.

MariaDB version: 10.8.6 OS: Oracle Linux
