Hi all,

Lately vdsm builds are failing in the install packages stage with
this unhelpful error:

13:59:42 INFO: installing package(s): autoconf automake gdb ...
13:59:53 ERROR: Command failed. See logs for output.

I downloaded the logs.tgz file from
http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/vdsm_master_check-patch-fc24-x86_64/1154/artifact/exported-artifacts/logs.tgz

And indeed in /./vdsm/logs/mocker-fedora-24-x86_64.fc24.install_packages/root.log
I found found this error:

DEBUG util.py:421:  Error: Package:

So we have 2 issues here:

1. We need *all* errors in the console
    http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/vdsm_master_check-patch-fc24-x86_64/1154/console

Not sure its possible or easy to do, these errors usually come from mock and are not relevant to the code running on the console.
I've cc'd infra-support and updated topic to track it and check our options.
Going foward, we might want to install a log collector like logstash and then searching errors there should be much easier. 
 


2. Someone need to fix the ovirt-snapshot repository - it should have
the missing ioprocess
    package.
    Maybe the project xml is not correct?
