Perhaps to aid debugging you can try this, but _do_not_ press Enter:

Kill it (or reply 'no').
What does it output?
Basically the same dependency error. I've attached the full output to this e-mail.
To answer your other questions:
16:43 <didi> fraenki: what happens when you try yum update
slf4j?
It is not currently installed (on oVirt 3.5.5) and only the inappropiate version
is available:
# yum --showduplicates list slf4j
[...]
Available Packages
slf4j.noarch 1.5.8-8.el6 centos-base

# yum update vdsm-jsonrpc-java

Very similar (of not the same) output to the `yum update ovirt-engine` command.
Where should I get "slf4j >= 1.6.1" from? It does not seem to be available
from
the "centos-base" repository (there's only slf4j = 1.5.8-8.el6 available):
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/
16:46 <didi> fraenki: if it still fails for you after the usual
things, e.g.
yum clean all, check repos etc., I'll try to reproduce
Yeah, tried this. Already wiped my repos and reinstalled ovirt-release36.rpm.
FWIW, I've noticed that a more recent slf4j is available from the SL6 repo at:
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6x/external_products/mave...
But I fear that this will break things in the long run (and it would replace
several other packages as well, very likely to break ovirt-engine completely).

This one does not deal with upgrading the engine OS. For that Sandro
started [1] but gave up after having some issues.
Yeah, I wasn't really expecting that an in-place upgrade EL6->EL7 would work
in this case. That's why I was thinking about the Backup/Restore method...
