RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

I am seeing a rare errors when trying to run yum transactions
it looks something like this:
  Installing : rhevm-setup-plugin-ovirt-engine-common-3.4.2-0.1000.764.    7/32 
08:42:06 error: db3 error(12) from dbcursor->c_put: Cannot allocate memory
08:42:06 error: db3 error(12) from dbcursor->c_put: Cannot allocate memory
08:42:06 error: error(12) storing record /usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/plugins/ovirt-engine-setup/ovirt-engine-common/config/ into Dirnames
08:42:06 error: db3 error(12) from dbcursor->c_put: Cannot allocate memory

and these rpms are not getting installed
this is somewhat similar to this:

I am also regularly experiencing this problem on our build server. I usually have to manually rebuild the rpmdb in order to recover from such situation, but still it's an annoyance. Unfortunately, I don't have access to bug 923201 and cannot see if it has been resolved or if there is a better solution for it.

Can someone provide some feedback here, or open access to the other bug?

I believe the issue is resolved in db4-4.7.25-20.el6_7.
