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:

Brand new install of RHEL 6 beta 2 x86_64 (Server) in a KVM virtual machine on F13.

When installing a package via "yum install", the installation process aborts near the end with a strange error:

  python: rpmio.c:1566: Fclose: Assertion `fd && fd->magic == 0x04463138` failed.
  Aborted
  #

Screenshot attached.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  # rpm -qa | grep rpm
  rpm-4.8.0-8.el6.x86_64
  rpm-libs-4.8.0-8.el6.x86_64
  rpm-python-4.8.0-8.el6.x86_64
  #

How reproducible:

Wasn't able to be reproduced in the same virtual machine.  Seems like a transient error, but may be worth the rpm developers knowing can occur.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. n/a
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Installation of acpid was abort prior to completing successfully.  Transaction was able to be completed by using yum-complete-transaction.


Expected results:

Installation of acpid to complete without issue.

Additional info:

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Thinking this may have been caused by BZ# 609871:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609071

This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

Pretty sure this was caused by BZ #607650, so going to close it.
