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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0327 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE python-psycopg2 bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 20:54:33 UTC

Description Jan Hutař 2012-07-27 07:50:11 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #757302 +++

Description of problem:
There is a reference leak bug in python-psycopg2. Sadly, I cannot provide
narrow reproducer (without Spacewalk components).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-psycopg2-2.0.14-1.el5

How reproducible:
deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Spacewalk nightly (PostgreSQL variant) on RHEL5 (or equivalent)
2. Create some non-empty custom channels
3. # /usr/bin/rhn-satellite-exporter --channel=parent-qrywz \
   --channel=child-of-parent-qrywz --dir=/tmp/dump.errata.kgCvf28372

 
Actual results:
02:51:20 Gathering channel info...
Appending channels ['child-of-parent-qrywz', 'parent-qrywz']
02:51:20 Gathering binary RPM info...
python: Modules/gcmodule.c:275: visit_decref:
Assertion `gc->gc.gc_refs != 0' failed.
Aborted

Expected results:
Export should pass.

This was observed also on RHEL6 with python-psycopg2-2.0.14-1.el6_2.1

Do we have a RHEL 6 version of this bugzilla?

I don't work with the Python CAPI but a quick look at the patch seems sane.  I also checked that

* This is the only difference between typecast.c in 2.0.14 and typecast.c at the time of the upstream commit.
* The patch is still applied in upstream's current 2.4.4 release.

Devrim, I'll go ahead and apply and build tomorrow unless I hear otherwise from you.
Comment 2 Jan Pazdziora 2012-07-30 15:35:03 UTC 
The change fixed the issues for the EPEL 5's python-psycopg2 package. It would be great to see it in RHEL 6 as well.
