Hey all,
I'm running ovirt 4.4 in production (4.4.5-11-1.el8), and I'm attempting to update
the OS on my hosts. The hosts are all centos 8 stream, and dnf update is failing on all of
them with the following output:
[root@ovirthost ~]# dnf update
Last metadata expiration check: 1:36:32 ago on Thu 17 Feb 2022 12:01:25 PM CST.
Error:

cockpit-ovirt-dashboard.noarch is at 0.15.1-1.el8, and it looks like that conflicting
ansible-core package was added to the 8-stream repo two days ago. That's when I first
noticed the issue, but I it might be older. When the eariler issues with the centos 8
deprecation happened, I had swapped out the repos on some of these hosts for the new ones,
and have since added new hosts as well, using the updated repos. Both hosts that had been
moved from the old repos, and ones created with the new repos are experienceing this
issue.
ansible-core is being pulled from the centos 8 stream AppStream repo, and the ansible
package that cockpit-ovirt-dashboard.noarch is trying to use as a dependency is comming
from ovirt-4.4-centos-ovirt44
I'm tempted to blacklist ansible-core in my dnf conf, but that seems like a hacky
work-around and not the actual fix here.
Thanks,
Dan
