Hello, thank you for the bug report. Could you please confirm that this is still an issue on RHEL-7.2? Also, could you confirm that the problem appears independently on the package being installed? How frequently does it happen? After consultation with Florian, we need a reproducer first. We will investigate but at this point we can't guarantee any results. I have seen this on an installation with CentOS 7.2 as well. I have for 200 machines in one instance, and once rebooting all the node, I can at least see 10 nodes reporting this issue I have in the situation resolved the problem by running "rpm --rebuilddb" Current version of kernel running is 3.10.0-327.22.2.el7.x86_64 At the very least a traceback of the crash would be needed to even start investigating since this is not generally reproducable -> NEEDINFO.

strace of bus error on rhel 7.4
From the strace it looks like a duplicate of bug 1471011 which is already fixed for RHEL 7.5. Can you verify if the issue goes away when using 7.5? In case this is really libdb issue reported in bug 1471011, does addressing it in libdb resolve the issue also for rpm? Or is this just a symptom of something wrong being happening? See bug 1471011#c5. Ah right, I forgot the fix in bug 1471011 does not really prevent the issue from happening - it merely transforms the original core dump into a more helpful error message. So yes, to completely avoid the issue here would mean to first get to the bottom of what the (I guess) removal of libdb environment files is caused by. Since it definitely should not happen when libdb itself is accessing them. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 shipped it's final minor release on September 29th, 2020. 7.9 was the last minor releases scheduled for RHEL 7. From intial triage it does not appear the remaining Bugzillas meet the inclusion criteria for Maintenance Phase 2 and will now be closed. From the RHEL life cycle page: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Maintenance_Support_2_Phase "During Maintenance Support 2 Phase for Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7,Red Hat defined Critical and Important impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected (at Red Hat discretion) Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available." If this BZ was closed in error and meets the above criteria please re-open it flag for 7.9.z, provide suitable business and technical justifications, and follow the process for Accelerated Fixes: https://source.redhat.com/groups/public/pnt-cxno/pnt_customer_experience_and_operations_wiki/support_delivery_accelerated_fix_release_handbook Feature Requests can re-opened and moved to RHEL 8 if the desired functionality is not already present in the product. Please reach out to the applicable Product Experience Engineer[0] if you have any questions or concerns.
