Description of problem: $Subject. I tried updating my master snapshot setup on fedora 29, and engine-setup showed quite few packages that need to be updated. I suspected that there should be more, and manually tried with 'dnf', and indeed saw that some packages had broken dependencies (specifically, ovirt-engine-metrics requires now ansible >= 2.8.3, but fedora 29 only has 2.8.2). I couldn't find any clue about this in the setup logs. With the linked patch, it fails with: [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Environment customization': Problem 1: package ovirt-engine-4.4.0-0.0.master.20190907174741.gitd1c8e769e12.fc29.noarch requires ovirt-engine-tools = 4.4.0-0.0.master.20190907174741.gitd1c8e769e12.fc29, but none of the providers can be installed - package ovirt-engine-tools-4.4.0-0.0.master.20190907174741.gitd1c8e769e12.fc29.noarch requires ovirt-engine-metrics >= 1.3.4.1, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best candidate for the job - nothing provides ansible >= 2.8.3 needed by ovirt-engine-metrics-1.3.5-0.0.master.20190905084609.git2a2f4b8.fc29.noarch Problem 2: problem with installed package ovirt-engine-4.4.0-0.0.master.20190822145705.git73e675af300.fc29.noarch - cannot install the best update candidate for package ovirt-engine-4.4.0-0.0.master.20190822145705.git73e675af300.fc29.noarch - package ovirt-engine-4.4.0-0.0.master.20190905120342.gitc1dcb20d60e.fc29.noarch requires ovirt-engine-tools = 4.4.0-0.0.master.20190905120342.gitc1dcb20d60e.fc29, but none of the providers can be installed - package ovirt-engine-4.4.0-0.0.master.20190906150736.gita42f120b8ba.fc29.noarch requires ovirt-engine-tools = 4.4.0-0.0.master.20190906150736.gita42f120b8ba.fc29, but none of the providers can be installed - package ovirt-engine-4.4.0-0.0.master.20190907174741.gitd1c8e769e12.fc29.noarch requires ovirt-engine-tools = 4.4.0-0.0.master.20190907174741.gitd1c8e769e12.fc29, but none of the providers can be installed - package ovirt-engine-4.4.0-0.0.master.20190905052444.git44d80d1fe49.fc29.noarch requires ovirt-engine-tools = 4.4.0-0.0.master.20190905052444.git44d80d1fe49.fc29, but none of the providers can be installed - package ovirt-engine-tools-4.4.0-0.0.master.20190905120342.gitc1dcb20d60e.fc29.noarch requires ovirt-engine-metrics >= 1.3.4.1, but none of the providers can be installed - package ovirt-engine-tools-4.4.0-0.0.master.20190906150736.gita42f120b8ba.fc29.noarch requires ovirt-engine-metrics >= 1.3.4.1, but none of the providers can be installed - package ovirt-engine-tools-4.4.0-0.0.master.20190907174741.gitd1c8e769e12.fc29.noarch requires ovirt-engine-metrics >= 1.3.4.1, but none of the providers can be installed - package ovirt-engine-tools-4.4.0-0.0.master.20190905052444.git44d80d1fe49.fc29.noarch requires ovirt-engine-metrics >= 1.3.4.1, but none of the providers can be installed - nothing provides ansible >= 2.8.3 needed by ovirt-engine-metrics-1.3.5-0.0.master.20190905084609.git2a2f4b8.fc29.noarch which IMO is the expected result. Perhaps it should be optional, though, not sure. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Probably forever (since we started supporting dnf) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run engine-setup when there are broken dependencies for packages it should update 2. 3. Actual results: It continues, not mentioning these packages. Expected results: IMO it should fail, showing the broken dependencies.

Despite that, it didn't work as I expected, and setting it to True then made it behave as I expected.

Have a 4.4 old version 2. Install dnf 3. update 4.4 repositories to the newest 4.4 version 4. # dnf update rhvm-setup-plugins ovirt-engine-setup ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-websocket-proxy 5. # vi /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel.repo 6. comment base-internal-compose, base-extras and base-production-mirror repositories to break some dependencies 7. # OTOPI_DNF_ENABLE=1 engine-setup and check Yes option for update Results: Get an error on DNF step of "Checking for product updates" because broken dependencies (pretty much as described on Description)
