when running engine-setup, the following prompt appears[1]. I'm not sure why this prompt is relevant at setup (rather than at upgrade). in any case, no point showing it if there is no ovirt-engine service installed or running yet (i.e., I'm getting this at an install on a vanilla f18) ovirt-engine-setup.noarch 0:3.2.0-1.20121212.git01e08b2.fc18 [1][root@f18 ~]# engine-setup Welcome to oVirt Engine setup utility In order to proceed the installer must stop the ovirt-engine service Would you like to stop the ovirt-engine service? (yes|no):
I think I can take care of this.

If the engine service is in state not running, and only in this state, avoid to ask for stopping the service. The script doesn't check for service up and running, avoiding a regression on RHBZ #837812. The script also avoid to stop the engine service if already stopped and not configured.
the patch was merged: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-engine.git;a=commit;h=b1da51482448ddabaa9b9f5c27c06188266d4e4a
I noted this behavior in ovirt-engine-setup version 3.2.0-2.fc18 [root@ovirt-engine-32 ~]# systemctl status ovirt-engine ovirt-engine.service - oVirt Engine Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ovirt-engine.service; disabled) Active: inactive (dead) Feb 04 11:26:38 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Stopped oVirt Engine.

Thanks for your testing. The patch is merged upstream in the master tree. It is also pushed to the 3.2 branch but not yet merged: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/11706/
