Description of problem: rhevm-setup plugins should point to KB in case customers hit issues with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1665197 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2.8-1
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.
(There isn't anymore rhevm-setup)
Let's try with the solution proposed by didi.

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.

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

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
