Hi all,

I am quite probably the culprit of this entire ordeal.

To use openvswitch 2.10 - [0] - , we need the latest dpdk libraries,
which are available on the centos *extra* repo.

Following Alan Pevec's advice I told Sandro to untag the current
version of dpdk, which would - from what I understood - get us dpdk
from *extras*. Patch [1] does that.

Now, thing is, that it works for openvswitch 2.10, not openvswitch 2.9
- which is what we're shipping in 4.2.7, and is being pulled in the
failed OST run. I also think it failed even after your patch because
it attempts to retrieve dpdk from the centos *base* repo, not the
*extras*.

Build [2] is an OST execution of the basic suite, using ovs-2.10 with
its dpdk dependency, which passed successfully.

Build [3] is an OST execution of the upgrade suite, using ovs-2.10
with its dpdk dependency. It failed, but, from the host yum.log - at
[4], it seems the issue you described above is fixed.

I think that there are 2 courses of action depending on what we want to deliver:
ovs-2.9 - re-tag the old DPDK version in the virt sig
ovs-2.10 - tag build [1], and get the DPDK dependencies from centos
extra packages
