Error:
 OUI-67076:OracleHomeInventory was not able to create a lock file, probably due to a failed OPatch Session.
 The loaded inventory might not show correctly what you have in the Oracle Home

Cause
A previous "opatch apply" session failed and so a lock still exists on the local inventory.

Solution
1. Take a backup of $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage directory
$ cp -R $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage_bkp

2. Remove $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage/patch_locked
$ rm $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage/patch_locked

3. Create empty file $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage/patch_free
$ touch $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage/patch_free

4. Verify that "opatch lsinventory" no longer reports the error
$ opatch lsinventory -detail
