Description of problem: AFAIU EL 7.6 (both RHEL and CentOS) now include a tech preview of dnf. We should make sure that relevant tools, including engine-setup and ovirt-host-deploy, continue to work as expected when this is installed. AFAIU, if it's installed, it's alongside yum. So e.g. 'dnf history' and 'yum history' will show different information. That's ok, users that try dnf should know what they are doing.
Moving to QE. For verification, please check relevant docs for how to add dnf to el 7.6, and check in the logs that indeed dnf was used, e.g. by grepping the log for 'DNF Creating transaction', and that everything worked well otherwise.
This has been tested by Petr and failed causing bug #1663242 to be opened. We need to document that we doesn't support dnf on el7.6.
moving back to NEW having failed the test
bug 1663242 is about ansible code, current is about otopi. They are not really related. Please verify current bug using only otopi-related tools (engine-setup, ovirt-host-deploy), and if you find issues, please open new bugs, and and them as dependencies for bug 1668685. Thanks.
Well then, in that case this is working as expected, I can install oVirt and run upgrade of engine. I'm able to install a new host, however it is not possible to upgrade it at this moment, which is not an issue for otopi (will be fixed as different bug 1663242). Engine was installed as ovirt-engine-4.3.0-0.4.master.20190101133220.git0860a07.el7.noarch and upgraded to ovirt-engine-4.3.0-0.4.master.20190102130922.gitef7445b.el7.noarch Host was installed with vdsm-4.30.4-85.git862c9cb.el7.x86_64
This bugzilla is included in oVirt 4.3.0 release, published on February 4th 2019. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in oVirt 4.3.0 release, it has been closed with a resolution of CURRENT RELEASE. If the solution does not work for you, please open a new bug report.
FWIW, engine-setup now failed for me. I had a CentOS machine with a few weeks old master snapshot engine set up with dnf, and did: 1. yum update This worked, and updated engine setup packages, as well as many others. In particular, I now have: dnf-4.0.9.2-1.el7_6.noarch rpm-4.11.3-35.el7.x86_64 2. engine-setup This failed with: [ ERROR ] DNF 'Base' object has no attribute '_group_persistor' Log has: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/otopi/context.py", line 132, in _executeMethod method['method']() File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/../plugins/ovirt-engine-setup/ovirt-engine-common/distro-rpm/packages.py", line 363, in _customization ) = self._checkForProductUpdate() File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/../plugins/ovirt-engine-setup/ovirt-engine-common/distro-rpm/packages.py", line 239, in _checkForProductUpdate groups = [group['name'] for group in mpm.queryGroups()] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/otopi/minidnf.py", line 820, in queryGroups for group in base.comps.groups_iter() AttributeError: 'Base' object has no attribute '_group_persistor' Briefly going through dnf git log, it seems like Base._group_persistor was removed quite some time ago [1], not sure why it failed only now - whether it's because of a rebase of dnf in CentOS 7 or a code flow we didn't go through previously.
