SMT Mirroring fails with rpmd error

Hello,
we do have troubles mirroring SLES 15 SP2 repositories on our subscription management server with SLES 12 SP4.
in the smt-mirror.log I see errors like this:
MT::Mirror::RpmMd - [error] Error getting patch data from repository: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Data too long for column ‘DESCRIPTION’ at row 1 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.2/SMT/Patch.pm line 397.
