Oh, bollocks.

Yeah I can see the flaw in I 
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/commit/c223d84fbf1ebb7a862f297e65878a2a78653e8e 
now. Ordinarily I would've placed freeaddrinfo() on the success path, 
but this is what the man-page example seemed to do (it doesn't) and I'd 
just run across sqlite leaking memory if a handle is not freed on error...

This calls for a brown paperbag update, will do so next week I guess. In 
the meanwhile you can avoid the crash by either fixing the network 
config to make hostname resolvable, or work around by manually setting 
%_buildhost via macro.

Thanks for reporting!
