Hi Milan,

Can you please open a bug on otopi and on ovirt-host-deploy to remove the usage of rpmUtils.miscutils since dnf doesn't provide it

Thanks

Hi, when I experiment with installing a RHEL 8 host from Engine (master

It's apparently because `rpmUtils' module from `yum' package is no
longer present on RHEL 8 (in `yum' or another very easily guessable
package).  I'm not sure how el7 x el8 host installation is supposed to
work and whether I can do anything at the moment to proceed a bit
further.

I suppose similar yum x dnf issues will need some attention; not only in
host deploy but everywhere where yum or rpm manipulation is used.

Thanks,
Milan
