I had this same problem (although mine was on debian ) and solved it by
using a newer java engine.I opened up $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca and changed
JRE_DIR to point to a local working copy of the JRE. Assuming that you
have a relatively recent copy of the JRE, you'll also need to change two
lines toward the bottom. $JRE_DIR/bin/jre will now become
$JRE_DIR/bin/java. Then I restarted dbca and everything ran fine.
