Description Alon Bar-Lev 2014-01-29 23:02:55 UTC 
Due to a bug in 3.2 setup in which some of the files at /var/lib were owned by root, the setup tries to chown files to ovirt user.

A broken link cause setup to fail.

Broken links happens because old reports package that was installed and removed/changed.

moving to 3.3.2 since 3.3.1 was built and moved to QE.
(wasn't cloned yet to zstream, even though moving to modified before the build)

> what are the steps for verification please? Thx!

for 3.4 it is difficult as this was backported to 3.3.z...

sequence was to create broken link at /var/lib/ovirt-engine/deployments, run engine-setup -- engine-setup fails.

now the deployments are created every time service starts, so cannot hold unexpected data.
Comment 7 Jiri Belka 2014-03-10 14:41:48 UTC 
nothing to test here

15:41 < alonbl> jbelka: this issue is irrelevant to 3.4
15:41 < alonbl> jbelka: it was opened just to be able to clone to 3.3
Comment 8 Itamar Heim 2014-06-12 14:05:27 UTC 
Closing as part of 3.4.0
