Under certain conditions, updating the package 'ovirt-vmconsole' emits as error. Normally this package is updated by engine-setup, and if an error is emitted, engine-setup treats this is a failure, and tries to rollback, which is a risky process. To work around this, the package ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-ovirt-engine now requires the currently-latest version of ovirt-vmconsole, 1.0.7-1. So updating the setup packages, using yum, should also update ovirt-vmconsole. If such an error is emitted, yum would treat it as a non-fatal error. See also bug 1665197 for the actual error from ovirt-vmconsole.

Let's check if problematic rpm is installed at the beginning of the setup, issue an error pointing to KB and exit. (Originally by Sandro Bonazzola) (In reply to Sandro Bonazzola from comment #1) > Let's check if problematic rpm is installed at the beginning of the setup, > issue an error pointing to KB and exit. I looked at the referenced bug 1665197 and do not see there any specific problematic rpm we can check about. AFAIU all current versions of ovirt-vmconsole are problematic to _upgrade_ (perhaps also remove?), and they are required by the engine, so we can't exit. A possible workaround for now can be to patch ovirt-engine-setup to require the currently-latest ovirt-vmconsole. This way, it will be upgraded while upgrading engine-setup, and if this fails, it's hopefully less dramatic than if engine-setup fails. (Originally by didi) (There isn't anymore rhevm-setup) (Originally by didi) Let's try with the solution proposed by didi.

Francesco, does this make sense? If so, which version should we require? I do not see a bump in the git repo after merging [1]. Can you please bump, and build for 4.2? Thanks.

(Originally by didi) Didi, I think it's a great workaround. You can require any version of ovirt-vmconsole. As far as I've seen the error is ignored when invoked on commandline. Francesco, it makes sense to proceed with that regardless when/how you fix ovirt-vmconsole for future (Originally by michal.skrivanek) (In reply to Michal Skrivanek from comment #9) > Didi, I think it's a great workaround.

Not really - if I require e.g. 1.0.4 and the user already has that, engine-setup will still try to upgrade (to 1.0.6.) and might fail. > As far as I've seen the error is ignored when invoked on > commandline. Indeed. We decided to not ignore it in otopi, to be on the safe side - see bug 1493160. > Francesco, it makes sense to proceed with that regardless when/how you fix > ovirt-vmconsole for future (Originally by didi) Verified on ovirt-engine-4.2.8.5-0.1.el7ev.noarch Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
