[IMPORTANT] Upgrade to postgresql-jdbc-42.2.14-1 breaks oVirt Engine 4.4/4.5

Hi, Unfortunately we have just found that latest release of postgresql-jdbc-42.2.14-1 breaks existing oVirt Engine 4.4 and 4.5 installations running on CentOS Stream. The workaround is to downgrade to previous version, for example postgresql-jdbc-42.2.3-3 should work fine. Here are detailed instructions: 1. If you have already upgraded to postgresql-jdbc-42.2.14-1, please downgrade to previous version: $ dnf downgrade postgresql-jdbc $ systemctl restart ovirt-engine 2. If you are going to upgrade your oVirt Engine machine, please exclude postgresql-jdbc package from upgrades: $ dnf update -x postgresql-jdbc We have created https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2077794 to track this issue, but unfortunately we don't have a fix yet.

Hi Martin Is there a fix for a new install of a self hosted engine? The deployment fails via cockpit or command line. Thanks Paul.

Hi Martin
Is there a fix for a new install of a self hosted engine? The deployment fails via cockpit or command line. I've just installed a new oVirt environment, where I got the same issue.
The trick what I did: When the HE boots up on local storage, you're able to SSH as root in some local IP during the setup process (with your key, or previously set password) The IP address can be figured out from the /etc/host file on the node, where you doing the deploy. So as soon as you logged in to the VM, you can do the package holding, and the hosted-engine setup can finish sucessfully. Hope it helps.

Hi, oVirt 4.5.0.8 async release has fixed the issue with postgresql-jdbc drivers: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/GAENJ2DPZSDCC27... So for oVirt 4.5.0.8 you no longer need to exclude postgresql-jdbc >= 42.2.14 package during installation/upgrade.

Probably worth pointing out that if you (as I did) update to 4.5.0.8 and exclude the postgresql-jdbc update you'll wind up with 500 - Internal Server Error When you try to login to the admin console again. On Wed, 11 May 2022 at 13:43, Martin Perina <mperina@redhat.com> wrote:

Perhaps we should have updated the spec file to Require: the correct version. This would have caused engine-setup (upgrade), if the new version was excluded/blocked/whatever, to fail - rather early and safely, IMO. Best regards,

For those running RHEL 8.6 / Alma 8.6 / Rocky ... , rebuilding postgresql-jdbc for Virt SIG: https://cbs.centos.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2801764 Should land on mirrors later today.

Right, unfortunately we have somehow missed that 😞 It should be fixed in oVirt 4.5.1: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/373
